PM Shehbaz Unveils Power Subsidy Package for Industries and Farmers

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has unveiled a comprehensive relief package for Pakistan’s industrial and agricultural sectors, aiming to boost productivity, exports, and employment while reducing the nation’s debt burden.

During a meeting with a delegation comprising industrial experts, agricultural representatives, and members of the business community, the Prime Minister announced that for the next three years, additional electricity will be supplied to the industrial and agricultural sectors at a subsidized rate of Rs 22.98 per unit.

According to the announcement, the new package will take effect from November 2025 to October 2028, ensuring a stable and affordable power supply to key sectors. Shehbaz Sharif highlighted that industries and farmers currently paying Rs 34 and Rs 38 per unit respectively will benefit from reduced rates under this initiative.

He clarified that the financial burden of the Roshan Yadik Bijli Package will not fall on domestic consumers or other sectors.

Reflecting on last year’s winter power relief scheme, the Prime Minister noted that the industrial and agricultural sectors consumed an additional 410 gigawatts of electricity, resulting in increased industrial activity, higher exports, and expanded job opportunities.

“If the industrial and agricultural sectors progress, Pakistan will move toward self-sufficiency and freedom from debt,” he said, expressing optimism that the new package would serve as a catalyst for sustainable economic recovery.
