Power division issues notification, reduces electricity prices by Rs1.71 per unit
The Power Division has issued a notification announcing a reduction of Rs1.71 per unit in electricity prices for consumers across the country, including K-Electric. This price cut will be applicable from April to June 2025.
According to the notification issued by the Power Division, the price reduction will benefit consumers nationwide, including those under K-Electric. However, the reduction will not apply to lifeline consumers.
The price cut has been made possible through additional subsidies from the federal government.
It is worth noting that, just a day prior, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) had approved the government's request to reduce electricity prices, including in Karachi, under the Petroleum Levy.
NEPRA has sanctioned a price reduction of Rs1.71 per unit, and the decision has been forwarded to the federal government for implementation.
This price reduction comes after a previous adjustment in electricity tariffs, where a Rs1.90 per unit reduction was applied to the quarterly adjustments for consumers across the country, including in Karachi.
Earlier, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had announced a reduction of Rs7.41 per unit for residential consumers on April 3, bringing the price of electricity for domestic users down to Rs 38.37 per unit.
Additionally, a reduction of Rs7.59 per unit was announced for industrial consumers, lowering their electricity price to Rs40.60 per unit.

‘Agri development, farmer prosperity are top priorities of CM'
LAHORE: Minister for Agriculture Punjab, Syed Ashiq Hussain Kirmani, has stated that agricultural development and farmer prosperity are among the foremost priorities of the Chief Minister Punjab. The present government is implementing revolutionary programs aimed at uplifting the agriculture sector and ensuring farmer welfare, which have already begun yielding positive outcomes across the province. However, some elements are attempting to distort the facts and spread misconceptions regarding these historic initiatives of the Punjab government. Minister Syed Ashiq Hussain Kirmani highlighted that within just one month of taking office, the Chief Minister Punjab initiated multiple agricultural development programs worth Rs. 400 billion — f or the first time in the history of Province. These programs included interest-free loans worth of billions of rupees through Kisan Card, provision of thousands of tractors on subsidy under the Green Tractors Program, and provision of modern agricultural machinery with up to 60% subsidy and many other initiatives. He added that this is the only Government in Pakistan's history during which no fertilizer shortage has been witnessed. Fertilizer is available in abundance in the market at prices even lower than those fixed by the manufacturers. Artificial shortages, profiteering, and hoarding of fertilizers have been completely eradicated from the province. He clarified that, during the current season, all provincial governments ceased official wheat procurement under the IMF agreement; however, Punjab remains the only province that extended direct financial support of Rs. 14 billion to small wheat farmers. During just a short period of two months, more than Rs. 85 billion in interest-free loans have been disbursed to farmers across Punjab for the purchase of fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides for Kharif crops. Of this amount, farmers have already utilized over Rs. 45 billion for the purchase of fertilizers, pesticides, and diesel. Syed Ashiq Hussain Kirmani further elaborated on the landmark programs launched during the current fiscal year for the welfare of farmers and agricultural advancement. These include Rs. 200 billion in interest-free loans through the Kisan Card, subsidized provision of 20,000 tractors, solarization of over 10,000 agricultural tube wells, establishment of 10 model agriculture malls, recruitment of 2,000 young agriculture graduates to provide technical support in the field, improvement and lining of watercourses, and a Rs. 30 billion program for the distribution of modern agricultural machinery.

Working in silos will not do
EDITORIAL: The energy sector's complex web is becoming increasingly difficult to manage as authorities continue to attempt to solve issues in silos, an approach that only complicates the problems. Currently, the Energy Task Force (ETF) and the Power and Petroleum Divisions are developing their own solutions without considering their interconnectivity and interdependence. With the power sector's push, backed by the IMF, captive power plants are being subjected to hefty levies on gas consumption. The objective is to transition industrial consumers to the grid, which is being partially achieved. The logical consequence should have been a higher off-take of RLNG by the power sector, but that is not happening, leaving expensive gas unused, which contributes to the circular debt of gas, excessive pressure on the pipelines, and lower off-take of cheap domestic gas. Reportedly, when the Petroleum Division urged the Power Division to increase its intake of RLNG, the minister replied that it would not commit a grave sin (gunnah-e-kabeera) by violating the economic merit order (EMO). The minister was behaving like a principled man, but such discipline was regrettably found lacking when the levy imposed (at peak rates for the entire day) was even higher than what the IMF had prescribed. The Discos (working under the Power Division) are being blamed for Rs 240 billion of overbilling to poor consumers, who are already paying for the inefficiencies of the government. The minister is silent on this issue that is beginning to become increasingly conspicuous. This selective amnesia does not stop here. The power minister is pushing his petroleum counterpart to review RLNG buying contracts with Qatar, asking to emulate what the Power Division has done with the IPPs. How naïve is it to even suggest this remedy. First, it would be tantamount to openly disregarding the sanctity of sovereign contracts. Second, it tends to advocate and normalise coercive actions that were employed against local IPP owners, a stance that has severely undermined investor confidence. Third, it demands breaking contractual commitments with international investors, despite the Power Division and ETF's own failures — even they could not persuade Chinese IPPs to waive the late payment interest (LPI) on outstanding dues, casting uncertainty over the Rs 1.3 trillion circular debt reduction plan. And the cherry on the top is that EMO that is being termed 'holy' while others are being advised to violate (or revise) sovereign contracts. Not only is buying RLNG from Qatar a necessity, but running RLNG plants to a specific limit is also necessary. It is a problem of double standards and a lack of understanding of the core issues. What the government is required to focus on is why the power demand is falling, as the off-take from the grid is still 11 percent shy of its peak in FY22. The need is to address the issue of solar net metering — where rates should be revised by adjusting solar pricing for new net metering contracts (with no change in existing rates) — has been identified, yet the necessary action has not been taken. The power ministry fears a public backlash over solar net metering, while the public is being cheated by entities under its domain by engaging in overbilling at the same time. Suffice it to say that the direly needed clarity of thought and objectivity in the solutions being proposed are simply missing. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025
