If approved, this increase would impose an additional burden of Rs6.2 billion on K-Electric consumers. This request comes on the heels of recent price hikes, where NEPRA approved increases of Rs5.76 per unit for May and June adjustments.
NEPRA has already issued notifications for these earlier increases, further impacting Karachi’s electricity consumers.
