The Sindh High Court has suspended orders from the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) regarding K-Electric’s tariff review. A single-judge bench issued notices to relevant parties for a hearing on October 15. The court’s decision follows K-Electric’s challenge of Nepra’s September and October rulings, which reviewed and altered the utility’s multi-year tariff determinations from 2024 to 2030. Counsel for K-Electric argued that Nepra overstepped its jurisdiction by redetermining tariffs rather than reviewing them, as per a Supreme Court judgement.

Story summary
On October 6, the Sindh High Court (SHC) in Karachi suspended orders from the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority’s (Nepra) appellate tribunal regarding a tariff review for K-Electric, a major power utility. The court also issued notices to Nepra and others for an October 15 hearing. K-Electric had challenged Nepra's decisions made in September this year and October 2025, which reviewed the company’s tariffs determined by Nepra from 2024 to 2030. Ayan Memon, representing K-Electric, argued that these determinations were subject to a seven-year period and questioned Nepra's claim of exercising "suo motu powers" to make such reviews independently. This decision impacts the regulatory authority's ability to unilaterally adjust tariffs without due process.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.

The Sindh High Court (SHC) has suspended the impugned notifications and orders of the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority’s (Nepra) appellate tribunal regarding the review of K-Electric’s multi-year tariff.
asserted
Court → suspend → tariff
A single-judge bench of the SHC, headed by Justice Mohammad Abdur Rahman, also issued notices to the Power Division, Nepra and others, as well as the deputy attorney general, for Oct 15.
asserted
bench → head → Oct
The power utility has approached the SHC challenging the judgements of Nepra’s appellate tribunal handed down in September this year and October 2025.
asserted
utility → approach → September
These judgements concerned KE’s appeals against Nepra’s October 2025 review determinations and the subsequent notifications issued by the power regulator and the Ministry of Energy (Power Division).
asserted
judgements → concern → Energy
Ayan Memon, counsel for the power utility, argued that KE’s tariff, which was determined by Nepra, was subject to a seven-year period from 2024 to 2030, covering generation, distribution and transmission.
asserted
which → argue → generation
‘Suo motu powers’
He further noted that although review petitions were subsequently filed, Nepra deemed them non-maintainable.
asserted
them → note → ?
The authority asserted that it could exercise “suo motu powers” to review and vary each of the separate tariff determinations previously established.
uncertain
it → assert → determinations
The lawyer added that while appeals were filed before the appellate tribunal in Islamabad, it upheld Nepra’s findings, which was why the matter was now being agitated before the SHC.
asserted
matter → add → SHC
He maintained that the tariffs were determined afresh instead of reviewing the order and that this was contrary to a Supreme Court judgement, as information could not come from other parties.
uncertain
information → maintain → parties
He also argued that the determination passed the entire burden of the subsidy being paid to KE back to the power utility, which would further pass it on to consumers through fuel adjustment.
asserted
which → argue → adjustment
He maintained that Nepra possessed the right of review, which was not tantamount to a right to re-determine the tariff.
asserted
which → maintain → tariff
He further argued that the tariff could not be determined based on criteria established by the power regulator and appellate tribunal, as doing so exceeded their jurisdiction.
uncertain
doing → argue → jurisdiction
