      <title>Govt seeks to reduce electricity prices by Rs1.71 per unit</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330409163/govt-seeks-to-reduce-electricity-prices-by-rs171-per-unit</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The federal government submitted a request to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) to lower electricity prices by Rs1.71 per unit across the country.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This reduction will also apply to K-Electric customers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The federal government aims to provide further relief by increasing the tariff differential subsidy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Subsidies will increase for three months, from April to June.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This applies to all consumers except lifeline users.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On March 6, the NEPRA &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330406051/electricity-prices-reduced-nationwide-under-monthly-adjustment"&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt; a reduction in electricity prices of Rs3 per unit for Karachi and of Rs2.12 per unit for the rest of the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330407028/govt-reduces-buyback-rate-for-net-metering-electricity-to-rs10-per-unit"&gt;recently approved&lt;/a&gt; amendments to net metering regulations, reducing the buyback rate for net metering consumers to Rs10 per unit from Rs27 per unit.&lt;/p&gt;
