The Sindh High Court has temporarily halted decisions made by the NEPRA Appellate Tribunal and related tariff notifications concerning K-Electric's complaint. This development was disclosed by the power utility on Thursday in a filing to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
The court issued ad-interim orders on October 7. K-Electric challenged judgments passed by the NEPRA Appellate Tribunal all dated September 23, 2026, in relation to the company's tariff appeals. Additionally, the company sought relief against NEPRA's review determinations dated October 20, 2025, and subsequent notifications issued by NEPRA on September 23, 2026, as well as a Ministry of Energy (Power Division) directive issued on September 27, 2026. These legal actions were taken before the Honorable High Court of Sindh in Karachi.
On October 7, 2026, the Sindh High Court passed an interim order suspending the challenged notifications and orders. This ruling comes in response to K-Electric's petition, which has had a significant adverse effect on the company's Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) for the fiscal years 2024 to 2030, rendering it financially unsustainable.
