Power Division Challenges Nepra'S Fy25 Report On Discos' Performance

In a recent rebuttal, the Power Division has challenged the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) over its performance evaluation report for FY25, claiming that it inaccurately portrays the operational and financial state of Pakistan's power distribution companies (DISCOs). The Power Division asserts that circular debt has been reduced by Rs. 780 billion, from Rs. 2,393 billion in FY 2024 to Rs. 1,614 billion in FY 2025, attributing this improvement to enhanced billing accuracy and stricter enforcement against defaulters. Furthermore, recovery rates have surged from 92.4% to 96.6%, and T&D losses have decreased from 18.3% to 17.6%, generating additional savings of Rs. 11 billion. Despite ongoing challenges, officials emphasize that the sector is on a recovery path and urge recognition of the measurable progress made by DISCOs (ProPakistani).
