It will be increasing the power tariff by (Pakistani Rupee) Rs 1.90 per unit to revive the stalled IMF loan programme under the USD 6 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF), top official sources told The News International. The government has projected that the circular debt will mount up to Rs 2,805 billion by the end of June 2021, putting the bleeding power sector into a severe cash constraint situation.
