The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) is set to review the Prime Minister’s power package for industrial and agricultural consumers on October 5, including whether the existing Rs. 22.98 per unit tariff should be revised.
The regulator has identified three key issues for consideration during the six monthly review: whether the package should be temporarily suspended due to prevailing fuel prices, whether the tariff should be increased in line with the actual marginal cost, and when any revised tariff should take effect.
NEPRA will consider June 2026, October 2026 or another period as the effective date for any tariff revision.
The regulator said the review is aimed at maintaining a balance between costs and revenue under the approved package. The marginal tariff may be adjusted based on the review.
The Power Division has submitted plant-wise hourly generation data, monthly electricity consumption, subsidized consumption and details of the system’s hourly marginal cost for the review.
Under the package, industrial and agricultural consumers currently receive additional electricity at Rs. 22.98 per unit. The rate was reduced from around Rs. 34 per unit for industrial consumers and Rs. 38 per unit for agricultural consumers.
The package provides additional electricity at a concessional tariff from November 2025 to October 2028 and is available to industrial and agricultural consumers across Pakistan, including consumers served by K-Electric.
The Prime Minister introduced the Roshan Maeeshat Power Package to support the growth and competitiveness of Pakistan’s industrial and agricultural sectors.
