300 Units Policy Fake News vs Electricity New Rate | July 2025 Update
In recent days, a lot of fake news are circulating on social media claiming that NEPRA has ended the protected and non-protected consumer slabs and fixed a single rate of Rs. 33.50 per unit for up to 300 units. This claim is completely false.
This rumor is spreading solely to confuse people and generate online views. Many innocent people start sharing such fake news without checking the facts. So here is the real and verified information about the new electricity tariff that started from 1st July 2025.
What Is The Fake News?
- Some pages and YouTube channels are saying that:
- Protected and non-protected consumer categories are finished.
- Units up to 300 will have one flat rate of Rs. 33.50 per unit.
- The slab of 200 and 201 units will have the same rate.
- Protected and non-protected consumer categories are finished.
✅ Facts About the 300 units policy
All of this is fake and misleading. The protected and non-protected systems are still there. The slabs are not merged. The new rates are updated only with a reduction of Rs. 1.15 per unit for non-protected and other consumers
What Is The Reality?
NEPRA has only reduced the basic tariff by Rs. 1.15 per unit for non-protected domestic consumers and other categories. The protected slab rates remain the same. Here is the latest verified tariff for July 2025:
