In Islamabad. A further setback for consumers weary of inflation who are already paying record-high food and gasoline costs is the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority's (NEPRA) notification of a Rs7.50 increase per unit in electricity tariff.
The government requested a rise in the basic power tariff of up to Rs7.50 per unit, and NEPRA approved it in the end.
The revised pricing will take effect on July 1 and was communicated by the power regulator to the government. The administration previously said that lifeline consumers would not be subject to the dramatic increase in power prices.
In response to IMF demands, the Sharif-led government increased the basic electricity pricing in order to raise Rs600 billion.
What will this year's electricity bill be after the most recent tariff increase?
With the most recent tax increase, the base tariff increases from the existing national average base tariff of Rs24 per unit to roughly Rs30 per unit.
In addition to raising base taxes, the federal government extended peak electricity hours beginning on July 1. Two hours have been added to the peak hours. They were previously held from 6 pm to 10 pm, but they will now take place from 5 pm to 11 pm.last day
