Pakistan’s power regulator, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), has increased electricity tariffs by Rs 1.42 per unit under the monthly fuel cost adjustment mechanism, adding to the financial strain on consumers already grappling with rising fuel prices, reported IANS.

The hike is linked to variations in fuel costs recorded in February 2026 and will be reflected in electricity bills issued in April. The move is expected to impose an additional burden of approximately Rs 10.57 billion on consumers nationwide, according to media reports, reported IANS.
