Hope pakistan gets the nuclear reactors from china to meet its demands as its clear they will be under IAEA safeguards

Average bill depends on the season. In summer if you consdier the AC, Fans etc.. it can climb to 15K, for some modest homes it is 5K and some will be 1500-2K.

Again depends on appliances, season, consumption.

Hope it helps.

In India we have lower middle class with a bill for say 400-700rs and middle class who dont have to worry too much get somewhere 1500-2000 and an upper middle class fella is like 3000-5000

This includes all appliances like AC and all

Thats lots of money for average pakistani Family isn't it.?
I'm sure there are other alternative ways of jamming your meter in Pakistan.

American meters the private companies just installed in Indian Punjab are very easy to hack into. I'm paying about 2500 Rupees a month in summer, where my bill should be atleast 25000 Rupees

It use to be very affordable at one time, not anymore. And if you add the cost of running a Gas or Diesel powered genny...

So i hope you can see why we need those god damn reactors?

Sadly the new ones can't be jammed!

There is Kundi (Hooking illegal direct lines)... This is an arrestable offence in Pakistan, as is stealing Gas

Yeah the average middle class family can pay between 5-10K in summer, those who use more appliances can pay upto 15... Modest families manage between 1500-5K... Depending on consumption etc, etc...

Pain in the A$$ if you ask me.

yeah true electricity in india is cheaper........ but also keep the currency difference in your mind

1 indian rupee = 1.80 pakistani rupees

Good move.

We enjoyed that until they started installing fiber optic cables to main lines.

5-15 K is just too much when you have kids school fee's, groceries, and other ornamental expenses regarding family memebers.

Pain in the A$$ if you ask me.

There is hope, you just have to talk to the right person with the right tools. I have evaded my local power city workers many times and most my (kundi) wires are underground underneath of my Farmland. If they can't see it, they won't know it.

Pakistan should invest in renewable sources.

Moreover, In India, Unit Cost of Electricity is 4.00 Rs. (Consider is 7.00 Pak Rupee)

In India Gas Cylinder is (365), while in pakistan its around 600-700
But now in India, Petrol is Rs. 53 while in Pakistan it is around 36-40.

So, some advantage while some disadvantage but still India is up.

Gas Cylinder rates went up to Rs. 500 now in Punjab/Haryana

I also read that they have increased the price of CNG by rs.4 per KG... Presently they range from Rs.58-59 in Punjab and KP and Rs.57 in Baluchistan.

Thanks for the insight man. I suppose you are talking about the bill amounted for one month's consumption.

With power cuts at all time high, and now this strange form of rationing, I don't understand why people are not on the streets already. The government seems to be billing the people for its own failures.
