According to the PUCSL, the new tariff structure introduces moderate increases for lower consumption categories while imposing a significantly higher adjustment on heavy electricity users. Consumers in the 0–30 unit category will see a 4.3% increase, amounting to an additional Rs. 15 per month. Those using between 31–60 units will face a 6.9% hike, resulting in an increase of Rs. 45, while the same percentage increase applies to the 61–90 unit category, adding Rs. 120 to monthly bills.
For households consuming 91–120 units, tariffs will rise by 7.1%, translating to a monthly increase of Rs. 420. Meanwhile, the highest increase has been applied to consumers using above 180 units, with tariffs rising sharply by 25%, marking the most significant adjustment under the latest revision.
The PUCSL stated that the tariff revision aims to balance the financial sustainability of the power sector while minimizing the burden on low-income households.
