Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday announced a package to provide additional electricity to the industry and agriculture sectors at a subsidised rate of Rs22.98 per unit for the next three years.

The prime minister announced the ‘Roshan Economy Electricity Package’ during a meeting with a delegation of experts from the industry and agriculture sectors, as well as representatives of the business community.

To be implemented from November 2025 to October 2028, the package will significantly reduce the current per-unit electricity price of Rs34 for the industrial sector and Rs38 for the agricultural sector to Rs22.98 per unit for both.

The prime minister told the delegation members that the financial impact of the package would not be borne by domestic consumers or any other sector.

The prime minister said that the government was taking all possible measures to enhance the competitiveness of the industry and the agriculture sectors in the region and to facilitate business.

Referring to last year’s winter package, he said the industrial and agricultural sectors had utilised 410 gigawatts of additional electricity, which boosted industrial operations and exports, besides creating employment opportunities.

“The journey from economic crisis to stability was undoubtedly challenging, but it was made possible through the hard work of the economic team and your cooperation. The development of the industrial and agricultural sectors will rid the country of loans,” he remarked.

Highlighting the improved economic indicators owing to prudent policies, the prime minister called for more relentless efforts and cooperation to achieve the goal of an economically prosperous Pakistan.
