The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) will review the Prime Minister’s power package for industrial and agricultural consumers on October 5, with the regulator considering whether the concessional Rs. 22.98 per unit tariff should be revised or temporarily suspended.

The review will focus on three key issues: whether the package should be suspended due to prevailing fuel prices, whether the tariff should be increased to reflect the actual marginal cost of electricity, and when any revised tariff should come into effect.

NEPRA will consider June 2026, October 2026, or another period as the effective date for any tariff adjustment.

The regulator said the review is intended to maintain a balance between electricity costs and revenue under the approved package. The marginal tariff could be adjusted based on the findings.

The Power Division has provided plant-wise hourly generation data, monthly electricity consumption figures, subsidized consumption details, and hourly marginal cost data for the review.

Under the package, industrial and agricultural consumers currently receive additional electricity at Rs. 22.98 per unit. The rate was previously around Rs. 34 per unit for industrial consumers and Rs. 38 per unit for agricultural consumers.

The concessional electricity package runs from November 2025 to October 2028 and covers industrial and agricultural consumers across Pakistan, including those supplied by K-Electric.

The Prime Minister introduced the Roshan Maeeshat Power Package to support industrial and agricultural growth by providing electricity at a reduced tariff.
