flag Pakistan cut industrial electricity rates by up to Rs4.58/kWh starting Feb 1, 2026, to boost competitiveness.

flag Pakistan has cut industrial electricity tariffs by up to Rs4.58 per unit starting February 1, 2026, following a NEPRA ruling, with reductions applying across all industrial categories and distribution companies through December 2026. flag Small (B1) industrial users now pay Rs26.23 per unit, down from Rs30.80, while medium (B2), high-tension (B3), and large (B4) users also saw lower energy charges, with significant drops in off-peak rates. flag Fixed charges remain unchanged at Rs1,250 per kilowatt. flag Household tariffs saw modest adjustments, with lifeline users paying unchanged rates and mid-range consumers experiencing small rate cuts. flag The move aims to boost industrial competitiveness and reduce production costs, particularly for exporters, though analysts warn of potential inflationary pressures and impacts on lower-income households.
