NEPRA approves Rs1.89 per unit cut in power tariff

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved a relief of Rs1.89 per unit in electricity tariff for consumers across the country under the quarterly adjustment charges for April–June 2025.

The power tariff cut—expected to bring Rs55.87 billion in relief—will apply across the country, including K-Electric consumers. However, lifeline and pre-paid meter users are excluded from the benefit.

The adjustment will be effective for three months, from August to October 2025, subject to final approval by the federal government.

The decision comes after distribution companies requested tariff reductions under the quarterly mechanism. NEPRA conducted a public hearing on August 4 before giving its approval.

Quarterly tariff adjustments are used to reconcile costs related to power generation and capacity charges, separate from the monthly fuel price adjustments.
