According to a spokesperson from the Power Division, the reduced fuel adjustment benefit was discontinued for households using up to 300 units in June 2015, while for agricultural tube wells, the relief was withdrawn even earlier, in December 2010. The Power Division has formally requested the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) to reinstate these adjustments.
By waiving the fuel adjustment charges for both agricultural tube wells and low-usage consumers, the government aims to lessen the financial strain on farmers and households, thereby reducing their monthly electricity bills.
