Nepra approves flat Rs22.98 rate for industrial, agricultural electricity consumers

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) approved on Tuesday the government announced reduction in electricity charges for the industrial and agricultural sectors “to ease the cost of doing business and support economic growth”. In October 2025, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that industries and the agricultural sector would be provided additional electricity at subsidised rates over the next three years. Under the new tariff structure, the price of additional electricity units for the agriculture sector has been reduced from Rs38 to Rs22.98 per unit, while the industrial sector’s rate has been brought down from Rs34 to Rs22.98 per unit. “This major relief measure will lower the average cost of purchased electricity for consumers in both sectors,” the Power Division said.
