Haryana Electricity Tariff Hike Impacts All Consumer Categories in 2015-16
Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission has finalized the tariff for the year 2015-16 as per its order dated 7th May 2015.
Haryana Electricity Tariff for Domestic Consumers
Haryana Electricity Tariff for the domestic consumers consuming more than 500 units are going to see a substantial hike in the tariff. The energy charges for these domestic consumers are increased from Rs 5.98 per kWh to Rs 6.74 per kWh – a 12.9% year to year increase. The FSA, Electricity Duty and the Municipal tax would be over and above this tariff. In effect, these domestic consumers will pay Rs 8.17 per kWh as the variable tariff.
The table below shows the tariff to be paid by domestic categories.
| Energy Charges (Rs per kWh) | FSA (Rs per kWh) | Electricity Duty (Rs per kWh) | Municipal Tax | Variable Charges (Rs per kWh) | |
| Domestic (>500 Units) for a 10 KW connected load | 6.75 | 1.27 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 8.17 |
| Bulk Supply (Domestic) (70 kW and above at 11 kV or above voltage) # | |||||
| Monthly consumption not exceeding 500 units/ flat | 4.70 | 1.15 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 6.00 |
| Monthly consumption exceeding 500 units/flat/ DU. | 5.85 | 1.15 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 7.15 |
# Demand charges are also applicable.
The bulk supply tariff for domestic consumer category is also in excess of Rs 8.00 per kWh after adding the applicable demand charges. This category of consumer includes the large residential condominiums.
Haryana Electricity Tariff for Commercial Consumers
As shown below, the Non Domestic or commercial consumers will also pay a tariff of more than Rs 8.10 per kWh in case they have a load between 5 KW and 20 KW. Their tariff is slightly lower than the tariff of domestic consumers. This category includes shops, Malls, Hotels, Hospitals etc.

| Above 5 kW and Up to 20 kW (LT) | 6.75 | 1.20 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 8.10 |
| Above 20 kW upto 50 kW (LT) | 6.15 | 1.27 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 7.57 |
| Existing consumers above 50 kW upto 70 kW (LT) | 6.50 | 1.29 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 7.94 |
| Consumers above 50 kW (HT) | 6.30 | 1.21 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 7.66 |
Many categories in HT and Bulk supply segment would have a variable tariff of more than Rs 8.00 per kWh apart from paying a fixed demand charges. Overall the tariffs for these categories can go in excess on Rs 10 per kWh.
| Energy Charges (Rs per kWh) | FSA (Rs per kWh) | Electricity Duty (Rs per kWh) | Municipal Tax | Variable Charges (Rs per kWh) | |
| HT Industry (above 50 kW)* | |||||
| Supply at 11 KV | 6.83 | 1.24 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 8.22 |
| Supply at 33 KV | 6.72 | 1.24 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 8.11 |
| Supply at 66 kV or 132 kV | 6.61 | 1.24 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 8.00 |
| Arc furnaces/ Steel Rolling Mills | 6.79 | 1.24 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 8.18 |
| Bulk Supply* | |||||
| Supply at LT | 6.78 | 1.25 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 8.18 |
| Supply at 11 kV | 6.67 | 1.25 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 8.07 |
| Supply at 33 kV | 6.56 | 1.25 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 7.96 |
