Electricity consumers could face a tariff increase of around Rs1 per unit under a new proposal linked to gas pricing.
The Petroleum Division has sought a higher price for locally produced gas that may be diverted from CNG stations to LNG-based power plants.
Officials say the move is aimed at improving fuel supply for electricity generation and reducing energy shortages.
However, the higher gas cost could increase power generation expenses, ultimately affecting consumer tariffs.
The proposal is currently under review, with final approval subject to regulatory and government decisions.
Energy experts warn that any increase in fuel costs may place additional pressure on consumers already facing high utility bills.
