A decrease has been sought in the electricity prices for the K-Electric consumers, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Friday.

As per official sources, two separate applications have been submitted by the K-Electric to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) seeking cut in power tariff.

A Rs9.71 per unit decrease in the electricity prices has been sought by the K-Electric in those two applications.

A Rs7.83 per unit decrease has been demanded on account of quarterly fuel cost adjustment for the months from July to September.
