Minister for Energy Sardar Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari has said the government is committed to safeguard lower-income electricity users.

Talking to a private news channel, he dispelled misconceptions about electricity price hikes, asserting that the media portrayal of these increases was misleading.

Minister emphasized that electricity tariffs are carefully structured based on income and usage, with distinct categories for customers to ensure equitable distribution.

He said customers using less than 300 units will pay 42 rupees per unit, those consuming 300 to 700 units will pay 54 rupees per unit, and those exceeding 700 units will be charged 60 rupees per unit.
