The Pakistani government has increased the electricity tariff for domestic consumers, a hike that will significantly impact household budgets.
The move is seen as a necessary step to manage the rising costs of electricity production and distribution.
However, the decision has been met with concern from citizens who are already grappling with high living costs.The government has exempted certain consumers from the tariff hike, including those who use minimal electricity.
This exemption will benefit a significant portion of electricity consumers and will be funded through the government’s development fund. The government has also approved increases in the base tariff for various consumer categories.
The hike in electricity tariff is expected to have a broad impact on households across the country, including Karachi.
The government has justified the increase as a necessary step to manage the rising costs of electricity production and distribution.
However, the move has been met with concern from many citizens, who are already struggling to make ends meet.
