In a blow to citizens already struggling with record-high inflation and a scorching heatwave, electricity prices in Pakistan have been increased once again.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved an increase of Rs. 3.33 per unit in the monthly fuel adjustment charges. This increase will be reflected in bills issued for the current month.
The price hike will not apply to K-Electric and lifeline consumers.
The latest increase in electricity prices adds to the growing burden on consumers who are already grappling with rising food and fuel costs.
