ISLAMABAD: A meeting of the federal cabinet will be held Thursday (today) with Prime Minister Imran Khan in chair, to approve the revised power tariffs.

The session will also review the political and economic situation of the country. Though, the endorsement of the hike in electricity price for domestic consumers, as proposed by the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) will be the top agenda of the meeting.

A day earlier, the Economic Coordination Committee of the federal cabinet approved hike in power tariff for households consuming over 300 units per month.

A meeting of the committee, chaired by Finance Minister Asad Umar, reportedly decided on Wednesday that electricity prices would not be raised for domestic consumers using 300 units or less every month.
