Chandigarh, April 02: Electricity rates in Haryana will rise from April 1, 2025, following a revision by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC). The new tariff structure introduces a 20 to 30 paise per kilowatt-hour (kWh) increase, impacting both domestic and industrial consumers.
For domestic consumers, the revised rates will be:
0-50 units: ₹2.20/kWh (up from ₹2)
51-100 units: ₹2.70/kWh (up from ₹2.50)
101-150 units: ₹2.95/kWh (up from ₹2.75)
151-300 units: ₹5.25/kWh
301-500 units: ₹6.45/kWh
Above 500 units: ₹7.10/kWh
Consumers with a load above 5 kW will fall under a new category, with tariffs set at ₹6.50/kWh for 0-500 units, ₹7.15/kWh for 501-1,000 units, and ₹7.50/kWh for consumption above 1,000 units.
Fixed charges of ₹50 per kW will apply to consumers using 301-500 units and those exceeding 500 units. In the industrial sector, the 11 kVAh supply rate has increased from ₹6.65/kVAh to ₹6.95/kVAh, while fixed charges have jumped from ₹165/kVA to ₹290/kVA per month.
To ease the burden on households, the Monthly Minimum Charges (MMC) have been scrapped. A two-part tariff system is now in place, with no fixed charges for domestic consumers using up to 300 units per month.
For farmers, the metered agriculture tariff has been reduced, with MMC lowered from ₹200 to ₹180/144 per BHP per year, depending on the load.
An official statement described the revision as necessary, citing fluctuating fuel costs and inflation. “The tariff for Category-I domestic consumers remains among the lowest in neighburing states,” it said.
The HERC expects the revision to reduce the projected revenue gap for FY 2025-26 from ₹4,520 crore to ₹3,262 crore.
Besides, a new tariff slab has been introduced for agro-industries and Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) exceeding 20 kW load, targeting mushroom compost, high-tech hydroponics, aeroponics, and cold storage sectors.
This marks the first major tariff revision since FY 2017-18.
