As of February 20, 2026, the Pakistani government has officially notified a significant reduction in industrial power tariffs, cutting rates by up to Rs. 4.58 per unit. This decision, effective from February 2026 until December 2026, aims to alleviate the financial burden on manufacturers, particularly benefiting sectors such as textiles, steel, and cement. The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) approved this tariff reduction on February 11, 2026, which is expected to enhance competitiveness and support industrial growth by lowering production costs and potentially boosting exports. The government has reported that 127,686 out of 278,961 industrial consumers have already benefited from the existing concessional electricity package, generating a total relief of Rs12.125 billion over December 2025 and January 2026, with the Federal Minister for Power Division, Sardar Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari, overseeing the initiative.
