Electricity Prices Change Again – PML-N’s Latest Update 2025

In a decisive move to ease the financial strain on citizens, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government has announced substantial reductions in electricity tariffs across the country.

Punjab Leads with 30-40% Tariff Reduction

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has approved a significant 30-40% decrease in electricity tariffs for Punjab’s power companies, including Quaid-e-Azam Thermal Power Pvt Ltd and Punjab Thermal Power Pvt Ltd. This initiative positions Punjab as the first province to voluntarily implement such a substantial rate cut, aiming to provide immediate relief to households and businesses grappling with high energy costs.

Federal Government Announces Nationwide Relief

At the federal level, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has declared a reduction of Rs7.41 per unit for domestic electricity consumers and Rs7.69 per unit for industrial users. This nationwide relief is part of a broader strategy to stabilize the economy and reduce inflation, which has recently fallen to single digits.

Economic Implications and Future Outlook

The tariff reductions are expected to stimulate industrial growth, enhance competitiveness in the global market, and provide much-needed financial relief to the populace. The government’s commitment to structural reforms in the power sector, including efforts to curb electricity theft and reduce circular debt, underscores a comprehensive approach to sustainable economic recovery.
