The sources further added that the proposed plan may also include the eventual withdrawal of free petrol benefits in a later phase. The proposal also includes a potential reduction in Maximum Demand Indicator (MDI) charges for factories.
Furthermore, there is a plan to review the performance of the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) and the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra).
