Karachiites to pay higher electricity bills in THIS month

KARACHI: K-Electric consumers will face an increase in their monthly electricity bills as the power utility has announced an adjustment of Rs2.17 per unit for the month of November.

As per details, this is in addition to the existing price of Rs 3.17 per unit, making the total price Rs4.91 per unit.

KE has also announced a quarterly adjustment of Rs1.74 per unit, which will be charged separately.

This adjustment is part of the quarterly tariff adjustment mechanism, which aims to pass on the fuel price variation to consumers.

It is worth noting that K-Electric had previously announced an increase of Rs. 2.59 per unit for October, which was a major burden on consumers. The company has also requested an increase of Rs. 51 paise per unit for August, which is still pending approval.
