National Electric Power Regulatory Authority has increased electricity tariffs by Rs1.42 per unit under the monthly fuel adjustment, dealing a fresh blow to consumers across Pakistan.

According to an official notification, the increase has been applied for February 2026 and will be charged in April bills.

The adjustment will also apply to consumers of K-Electric in line with government policy guidelines.
