The federal government and Karachi consumer groups formally opposed K-Electric's Rs 60 billion backdated End-of-Term adjustment claims at a NEPRA public hearing on Tuesday. NEPRA acknowledged the legal basis for the adjustments under the 2017–23 MYT framework but did not issue a final determination.
Pakistan's Senate Standing Committee has directed NEPRA to investigate Independent Power Producers over capacity payments, over-invoicing, and unjustified contractual extensions. The probe requires NEPRA to submit a detailed comparative report as parliamentarians grow increasingly concerned over the role of IPP costs in driving up electricity tariffs.
NEPRA has cleared a Rs. 4.23/unit fuel cost adjustment for April 2026, raising monthly bills for households above 200 units by an average of Rs. 850.
