For non-protected consumers:
- The tariff for those using up to 100 units will rise by Rs 7.11, bringing the rate to Rs 23.59 per unit.
- For consumers using between 101 to 200 units, the tariff will increase by Rs 7.12, reaching Rs 30.07 per unit.
For protected consumers:
- The tariff for up to 100 units will rise by Rs 3.95, resulting in a new rate of Rs 11.69 per unit.
- For those using between 101 to 200 units, the increase will be Rs 4.10, making the tariff Rs 14.16 per unit.
Lifeline consumers using up to 50 units will maintain a per-unit tariff of Rs 3.95, while those consuming between 51 to 100 units will continue to pay Rs 7.74.
The federal government had previously increased the basic electricity tariff by Rs 7.12 per unit in July 2024 but provided a three-month exemption for consumers using up to 200 units. This was facilitated by a Rs 50 billion subsidy to offset the price hike for these consumers.
