ISLAMABAD – The government of Pakistan is preparing to implement a significant overhaul of the country’s electricity and gas tariff system.
The new model will shift from the traditional consumption-based structure to one that is determined by household income.
Under this revised system, subsidies or discounts on electricity and gas bills will be allocated based on the income level of the household, ensuring more equitable pricing.
This move aims to provide greater support to lower-income families while ensuring that wealthier households pay their fair share.
The reforms are being finalized in line with commitments made to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), marking a key step in Pakistan’s ongoing economic adjustments.
This shift is expected to bring about a fairer distribution of subsidies and better align utility pricing with the financial capacity of households across the country.
