According to a notification issued by Nepra, electricity has been made more expensive by 28 paisa per unit. This increase will be applied in consumers’ monthly bills for February.
The notification stated that the price hike will affect electricity users across the country, including K-Electric consumers.
However, lifeline consumers and electric vehicle charging stations have been exempted from this decision, meaning they will not face the additional financial burden.
