K-Electric, the sole electricity supplier in Karachi, seeks over an Rs3 per unit hike in power tariff!

As being reported, the K-Electric has submitted an application to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), seeking an Rs3.45 per unit hike in the rate of electricity.

According to NEPRA, K-Electric has requested an increase in power tariff on account of the monthly fuel cost adjustment (FCA) for September.
