The Sindh High Court (SHC) has issued a stay on the controversial decision regarding K-Electric’s Multi-Year Tariff (MYT), which led to a reduction in the utility’s supply tariff from Rs 39.97 per unit to Rs 32.37 per unit, Business Recorder reported.
The decision was made after K-Electric (KE) filed a legal challenge against the determination, arguing that the review conducted by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) in October 2025, which led to the reduction, was flawed.
KE’s legal team contended that the tariff review did not properly involve the power utility and was based on applications from individuals not party to the original proceedings.
The dispute stems from earlier NEPRA determinations, which set KE’s generation, transmission, and distribution tariffs in 2024 and 2025, respectively. However, a series of review applications, filed by external parties, led NEPRA to take suo motu notice of its earlier judgment and revise the tariff to Rs 32 per unit.
KE’s legal counsel argued that if the tariff were implemented, it would result in severe financial losses for the company and potentially force it to suspend operations for an extended period. They further raised concerns over the lack of notice from NEPRA regarding the suo motu action, and the absence of a functioning NEPRA Appellate Tribunal to address the issue.
The SHC issued a stay order, acknowledging the validity of KE’s concerns and scheduling a hearing for November 19, 2025, with notices to be issued to all relevant parties, including the Additional Attorney General. The court’s order prevents any coercive actions against KE until the next hearing.
