title: "Nepra raises electricity tariff by Rs2.58 per unit"
description: "Most outlets reported the overall increase of Rs2.58 per unit, combining the monthly and quarterly adjustments. While all mentioned the Rs2.06 per unit monthly fuel cost adjustment and the 52 paisa quarterly charge, some, like Dunya News and Dawn, highlighted the financial burden on consumers, citing figures such as Rs45 billion. Others, like Geo News and 24 News HD, focused more on the regulatory mechanism and timing of the hikes, noting when the changes would appear on bills. Aaj News and ARY News (English) provided more neutral, procedural framing without emphasizing the economic impact."
