The power regulator increased power tariff by Rs1.72 per unit for quarterly adjustments of power distribution companies and Rs1.25 per unit in electricity surcharge. The ailing power sector companies will recover this amount from electricity consumers who are already paying their bills. However, Nepra in a statement said that the consumer-end tariff would only increase by around Rs0.08/kWh except for commercial users. The increase for commercial consumers will be by Rs0.11/kWh with effect from September 30, 2021.
