ISLAMABAD, Jan 13 (SABAH): The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) on Thursday increased power tariff by Rs4.30 per unit on account of fuel cost adjustment (FCA) for November 2021.

According to a notification issued in this regard, the FCA for November 2021 will be charged with the bill of January 2022, which will be paid by all consumer categories of distribution companies, except for lifeline and K-Electric consumers.
