ISLAMABAD: Electricity consumers across Pakistan, including those served by K-Electric, are expected to receive a major relief of Rs63.94 billion under the quarterly tariff adjustment mechanism.

According to a statement issued by National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), power distribution companies (DISCOs) have submitted a request for adjustment for the first quarter of the calendar year 2026.

The regulator has scheduled a hearing on the petition for May 19, after which a final decision on passing the relief to consumers will be made.

DISCOs have also requested a reduction of Rs23.51 billion on account of incremental units.
