      <title>IMF approves reduction in electricity tariffs</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330408997/imf-approves-reduction-in-electricity-tariffs</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has granted approval for a modest reduction of Rs1 in electricity tariffs, which will be applied as relief in the basic tariff for each electricity unit.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This change will benefit all consumers, providing relief from electricity prices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The funding for this relief will come from revenue generated through a levy imposed on captive power plants, specifically targeting their gas consumption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to this tariff reduction, the government is actively developing a relief package for electricity consumers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, more details of this package will be announced as this will receive working approval from the IMF.&lt;/p&gt;
