The domestic consumers are set to bear the brunt of power tariff cut given to the industrial sector.
Under the revised rates, set to take effect from February 2026, factories and businesses will receive up to Rs4.58 per unit cut.
The decision, formally notified following approval by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), aims to provide relief to factories and businesses.
The financial impact of this relief will be borne by domestic consumers through new and increased fixed charges.
Protected consumers using up to 100 units per month have been exempted from the Rs200 fixed charge.
Under the revised structure, around 9.9 million consumers using less than 200 units will pay a Rs200 fixed monthly charge, while over 6.1 million protected-category consumers using up to 200 units will face a Rs300 charge.
Non-protected consumers exceeding 100 units even once in six months will pay Rs275 per kW, with per-unit rates rising above Rs22.44, excluding taxes. Additional slabs ranging from 200 to over 500 units will face fixed charges between Rs300 and Rs675 per month.
