The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has approved a reduction of Rs 1.98 per unit in electricity tariffs; However, the June bills will reflect a net relief of Rs 0.80 per unit after the application of a fuel charge adjustment (FCA) of Rs 1.19.
According to the new decision, electricity tariffs have been reduced by Rs 1.98 per unit in the first quarterly adjustment of 2026, resulting in an estimated relief for consumers of more than Rs 67 billion.
The reduction will remain in effect for three consecutive months, specifically covering the June, July and August billing cycles.
The adjustment was applied uniformly across the country, including K-Electric consumers. However, the notification clarified that vital service consumers were not included in the revised tariff structure.
In a separate decision today, electricity tariff has been increased by Rs 1.19 per unit across the country, including Karachi, according to a notification issued by Nepra. The adjustment was made under the April 2026 fuel price adjustment (FCA).

According to the notification, the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) had initially sought an increase of Rs 1.73 per unit under the April adjustment. However, the regulator approved an increase of Rs 1.19 per unit after reviewing the data and calculations presented.
