The federal government on Tuesday said it has provided substantial relief to electricity consumers. During the first eight months of FY 2025–26 (July–February), consumers received a net benefit of Rs. 46.56 billion, reducing the consumer-end tariff by Rs. 0.71 per kWh.
Industrial consumers benefited most, with pre-tax tariffs falling from Rs. 49.19 per unit in March 2024 to Rs. 34.75 per unit in March 2026, a decline of Rs. 14.44 per unit.
For January and February 2026, despite a temporary rise in fuel charges due to higher demand and the K-3 plant outage, the combined adjustments resulted in a net relief of Rs. 26.85 billion.
The government continues to monitor international fuel price fluctuations, exchange rate changes, and supply disruptions, which remain beyond local control.
Tariff projections are based on careful estimates to protect consumers from undue financial burden, while ongoing coordination with stakeholders aims to minimize the impact of future cost pressures.
Best joke I have heard all day. Imposing fixed charges based on approved power load for people and congratulating yourself on a job well done. Hilarious.
Are those reliefs in the room with us ?
since installation all that these clowns have been doing is congratulating themselves, no practical benefit to the public…
they haven’t been able to do anything of benefit to the public, therefore congratulating oneself is the best they can do.
