NEPRA Approves Rs1.15/Unit Cut in Power Tariff for Domestic Consumers

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved a reduction of Rs1.15 per unit in the basic electricity tariff, providing much-needed relief to domestic consumers using between 100 and 500 units monthly. According to NEPRA’s official notification, the revised tariffs now await final approval and implementation by the federal government. Under the new structure, the maximum tariff for domestic users has been capped at Rs47.69 per unit. Lifeline consumers using up to 50 units per month will continue to pay Rs3.95 per unit, while those consuming 51–100 units will be charged Rs7.74. For protected consumers, rates are set at Rs10.54 for 1–100 units and Rs13.01 for 101–200 units. Non-protected consumers will face rates ranging from Rs22.44 for 1–100 units to Rs47.69 for usage above 700 units. NEPRA has formally forwarded its recommendations to the federal government, which will announce the implementation upon approval.
