K-Electric seeks Nepra's approval for a Rs0.51 per unit tariff increase in August, totaling Rs853 million.

K-Electric, Pakistan's leading private power utility, has requested the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) to approve a Rs0.51 per unit increase in electricity tariffs for August, totaling Rs853 million. This adjustment is due to lower fuel charges previously passed on to consumers. A public hearing is set for October 3, and if approved, the increase will affect bills in December or January, amid ongoing FCA hikes due to rising fuel costs.
