On Friday, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) declared a reduction of Rs0.5 per unit in the electricity tariff for customers of K-Electric.
The NEPRA issued a notification detailing the tariff reduction, attributing it to fuel cost adjustments (FCAs) made in April.
The notice stated that this relief is not extended to lifeline customers, users with consumption up to 300 units, Agricultural Consumers, and Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.
The relief is limited to a one-month duration, as specified by the notification.
