The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) on Friday approved a Rs0.75 per unit increase in electricity tariffs.
The regulator has increased the price under the monthly fuel cost adjustment (FCA), citing fluctuations in fuel charges for June 2026.
According to the notification, the revised FCA will apply to consumers of K-Electric (KE) and all former Wapda distribution companies (Discos).
However, the increase will not affect lifeline consumers, electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS), or prepaid electricity users across all categories who have opted for the prepaid tariff.
The additional fuel cost adjustment will be incorporated into August 2026 electricity bills issued by ex-Wapda Discos and K-Electric.
According to Nepra, the adjustment had been made under the powers granted by the fourth proviso of subsection (7) of Section 31 of the Nepra Act, allowing revisions in approved tariffs to account for monthly fuel cost variations.
The regulator further noted that, in line with the federal government’s policy on maintaining a uniform fuel cost adjustment across the country, the same FCA applicable to ex-Wapda Discos will also be imposed on K-Electric consumers for the corresponding billing period.
Last month, Nepra had approved a Re0.34 per unit increase in electricity prices under the monthly fuel cost adjustment for May 2026.
