Electricity Prices Rise Again, Consumers Face New Burden

Islamabad (Commerce Desk): Electricity prices have once again been increased across the country, adding a new burden on consumers, as an official notification has been issued.

According to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority, the price of electricity has been raised by Rs. 1.42 per unit.

Officials stated that the increase has been made under the monthly adjustment for February 2026 and will be reflected in April electricity bills.
