Electricity Prices Surge 3.32 Rupee/unit Increase

The price of each unit of electricity has been increased by 3 rupees and 32 paisas, a predictable increment that will be effective in the current month’s bill. NEPRA has issued a notification regarding the price hike resulting from an increase in power tariff under monthly fuel price adjustment. As per media reports, the federal cabinet has approved setting the basic tariff for local consumers at up to Rs 48.84. In contrast, the basic tariff per unit increase ranges from Rs 3.95 to Rs 7.12.

According to this document, non-protected domestic users consume between one and one hundred units of electricity. After an increase of seven rupees eleven paisas, the new rate will be twenty-three rupees fifty-nine paise per unit. In a similar situation, consumption is now between one hundred and one hundred monthly units. A rise of seven rupees twelve paise will raise the basic tariff to thirty rupees seven paise. Use two hundred and one to three hundred units daily for those not protected. There is also an additional cost of seven point twelve (7.12). Which brings it to thirty-four point twenty-six (34.26).

The data shows that for use of between three hundred and one and four hundred units every month, there has been a change in price with a rise by seven point two (7.02), resulting in thirty-nine point fifteen (39.15). In addition, if you consume more than four hundred units every month. It would help if you prepared yourself for payment of forty-one point thirty-six (41.36).

On average, consumers who used between five hundred and six hundred units last month would have experienced a 6.2 increase in tariffs. Putting them at forty-two dollars seventy-eight cents ($42.78). Again this year, the current usage rate for homes consuming between six hundred and seven hundred monthly units rose. By six-point-two to forty-three dollars ninety-two cents ($43.92) for each unit. In the same view, those homes that consumed over seven hundred units of electricity in an average month should expect an increase in prices amounting to six-point-two. Resulting in a cost of forty-eight dollars and eighty-four cents ($48.84) per unit.
Even the most impoverished and protected consumers, who used 1 to 100 units, experienced the essential tariff rise. These protected consumers, the lowest electricity users, use between 1 and a hundred units of electricity. Domestic electricity rates have increased by 51%, rising to Rs. 11.69 from Rs. 7.74 for domestic consumers, however. For those who fall under the category of consuming over a range of between 101-200 units. There has been a rise in basic tariff by Rs4.10. This sets its new unit price at Rs. 14.16, compared to the previous rate of ten rupees and six paisas.
