Islamabad: Government is all set to raise electricity tariff amount to roughly Rs. 0.92/per unit from this month amid already increasing inflation.

According to details, Central Power Purchasing Agency (CCPA) has submitted an application to National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) regarding increase in electricity rates by Rs 0.92 per unit.
The decision to increase power tariffs is being made in the context of monthly fuel adjustment.
