Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif inaugurated the 'Apna Meter, Apni Reading' mobile application on June 29, 2025, aimed at allowing electricity consumers to submit their own meter readings. The initiative seeks to curb overbilling and enhance transparency in the electricity billing process. The app is planned to be rolled out nationwide, from Karachi to Peshawar. Sharif emphasized the government's priority to modernize institutions and digitize public services. Analysts have noted that the app could also help reduce electricity theft. In a related development, on July 3, 2025, Prime Minister Sharif announced an order to double all key digital economy targets to accelerate Pakistan's transition to a cashless economy, highlighting digital transactions as essential for economic transparency.
