Power & Energy sector: what is happening
Last 14 days to Sep 30, 2026Rising global oil prices prompted a Rs41 billion diesel subsidy for Oct-Dec and Rs17.2 billion in electricity-bill relief, cushioning end-user energy costs while increasing reliance on budget support rather than tariff cost recovery. New rooftop solar applicants were shifted to Net Plus, limiting grid-cost cross-subsidies by requiring users to meet their own nighttime demand. The sector also advanced a four-block Mannar Basin oil and gas licensing round.
