Home Industries, farmers will receive additional electricity at concessional rates from November 2025 to October 2028 Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced the “Roshan Economy Electricity Package”, a three-year relief initiative aimed at revitalising Pakistan’s industrial and agricultural sectors through subsidised electricity rates. He made the announcement during a meeting with a delegation of industrial experts and business leaders, saying the plan was designed to “revitalise production, strengthen exports, and create jobs.” Under the package, industries and farmers will receive additional electricity at concessional rates from November 2025 to October 2028. Industrial consumers currently paying Rs34 per unit and agricultural consumers paying Rs38 per unit will now be provided additional units at a reduced rate of Rs22.98 per unit throughout the three-year period. “The electricity supplied under the Roshan Economy Package will not burden domestic consumers or any other sector,” the premier assured, while commending Energy Minister Awais Leghari and his team for developing the plan.
