NEPRA Cuts Power Rates by 80 Paisa in June, Rs1.99 Per Unit in July–August

Here is your original text with H4 headings applied, nothing else changed:


NEPRA has notified a net reduction in national electricity rates across three months. Consumers will pay 80 paisa less per unit in June. The reduction rises to Rs1.99 per unit in July and August. The total financial relief amounts to approximately Rs56 billion.

Two Simultaneous Adjustments Drive the Cut

Two tariff decisions combine to produce this relief.

The first is a monthly fuel cost adjustment (FCA) for April 2026. The second is a quarterly tariff adjustment (QTA) covering January–March 2026. NEPRA applied both at the same time.

Fuel Costs Rise by Rs1.19 Per Unit in June

NEPRA approved a Rs1.19 per unit increase in fuel costs. Distribution companies (Discos) will recover this amount in June billing. This adds Rs11 billion to Disco revenues.

Discos had originally demanded Rs1.74 per unit to recover Rs16 billion. NEPRA scaled the amount down significantly.

The FCA applies to all consumer categories of KE and XWDISCOs. It excludes lifeline consumers, Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS), and prepaid consumers.

Quarterly Adjustment Delivers Rs1.99 Per Unit Cut

NEPRA separately approved a Rs1.99 per unit reduction under QTA. This applies across June, July, and August. The total financial impact reaches Rs67 billion over those three months.

Discos had proposed a Rs64 billion refund at a rate of Rs1.75 per unit. NEPRA approved a higher relief amount.

The QTA applies to all consumer categories except lifeline consumers, incremental consumption package users, and prepaid consumers.

Net Impact: 80 Paisa Down in June, Rs1.99 in July–August

In June, the Rs1.99 QTA reduction offsets the Rs1.19 FCA increase. Consumers effectively save 80 paisa per unit this month.

In July and August, only the Rs1.99 QTA reduction applies. No FCA runs alongside it. Consumers benefit from the full cut both months.

The combined net relief stands at Rs56 billion — Rs67 billion in QTA savings minus Rs11 billion in fuel cost recovery.
