For most residential domestic consumers in Haryana, the Haryana electricity unit rate is divided into slabs by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC). As a general baseline, if you consume under 50 units, the rate is often subsidized at around ₹2.00 to ₹2.50 per unit. For higher consumption (up to 250 units and beyond), rates incrementally increase up to ₹6.00 to ₹7.50 per unit, depending on your exact consumption tier. In addition to per-unit charges, consumers must pay a fixed charge per kW of sanctioned load and applicable Fuel Surcharge Adjustment (FSA).
In Haryana, electricity distribution and retail supply are managed by two primary state-owned Distribution Companies (DISCOMs):
The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) is the overarching authority that dictates the tariff structures, determines the fixed charges, and ensures fair practices across both DHBVN and UHBVN. The rates between DHBVN and UHBVN are identical because HERC enforces a uniform tariff structure across the entire state.
The domestic category tariff in Haryana is highly progressive, meaning the more you consume, the higher the rate applied to your usage. HERC categorizes domestic consumers into two main groups based on total monthly consumption to encourage energy conservation and protect low-income households.
| Slab (Units/Month) | Energy Charge (₹ per Unit) |
|---|---|
| 0 - 50 Units | ₹ 2.00 (Example Rate) |
| 51 - 100 Units | ₹ 2.50 (Example Rate) |
| 101 - 250 Units | ₹ 2.75 (Example Rate) |
If your consumption exceeds 250 units, a different tariff structure applies to your entire usage, effectively raising the average Haryana electricity unit rate across the board. This structure removes the heavy subsidies applied to the lowest usage tiers in Category 1.
| Slab (Units/Month) | Energy Charge (₹ per Unit) |
|---|---|
| 0 - 250 Units | ₹ 4.50 (Example Rate) |
| 251 - 500 Units | ₹ 6.00 (Example Rate) |
| 501 - 800 Units | ₹ 7.10 (Example Rate) |
| Above 800 Units | ₹ 7.25 (Example Rate) |
Note: The rates mentioned above are illustrative based on typical HERC guidelines. Official rates are subject to change by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC). Always refer to the latest HERC tariff orders for the exact rates applicable in the current billing cycle.
Your monthly electricity bill is not just a product of units consumed multiplied by the unit rate. Two other major components heavily influence the final payable amount in Haryana.
Fixed charges are levied to maintain the grid infrastructure, regardless of your actual electricity consumption. They are calculated based on your sanctioned load (in Kilowatts - kW). For instance, under HERC rules, the fixed charges might be:
If you have a 3 kW sanctioned load, you will pay a flat fixed charge of 3 * 130 = ₹ 390 every month before a single unit of electricity is calculated. These charges ensure that DHBVN and UHBVN can cover the fixed costs of maintaining the power distribution network.
The Fuel Surcharge Adjustment (FSA) is a critical element in Haryana's electricity billing. Since the cost of coal, gas, and transportation fluctuates, power generation companies pass these variable costs to DISCOMs (DHBVN/UHBVN), which then pass them to consumers via the FSA. The FSA is usually calculated as a few extra paise (e.g., 40-50 paise) per unit consumed. It can change quarterly depending on HERC's assessment of fuel costs.
Additionally, an Electricity Duty (ED) and a Municipal Tax (MT) may be levied on the total energy charges, further adding to the per-unit cost.
Let’s calculate a hypothetical monthly bill for a household in Gurugram (DHBVN territory) with a sanctioned load of 4 kW and a monthly consumption of 400 units.
In this example, the effective Haryana electricity unit rate including all charges comes out to roughly ₹ 6.86 per unit (₹ 2,745 / 400 units).
Whether you reside in DHBVN or UHBVN areas, you can easily verify your bill details, track your consumption history, and make payments online. Here is how you can review your electricity charges:

The per unit rate varies by your total consumption slab. If you consume up to 250 units, rates range between ₹ 2.00 and ₹ 2.75 per unit. For consumption above 250 units, the baseline starts at ₹ 4.50 and goes up to ₹ 7.25 for usage exceeding 800 units, as per typical HERC tariff schedules.
Haryana uses a "telescopic" billing system with a strict condition. To heavily subsidize lower-income households, HERC created a specific category strictly for consumers whose total usage is under 250 units. If your total usage crosses 250 units, you are pushed into Category 2, where even your first 250 units are charged at a slightly higher, non-subsidized baseline rate.
FSA stands for Fuel Surcharge Adjustment. It is an additional variable charge per unit that compensates the power generation companies for the fluctuating costs of fuel (like coal and diesel) used to generate electricity. This rate is reviewed and approved periodically by HERC.
Fixed charges are based strictly on the sanctioned load of your meter (in kW), not on the number of units you consume. For domestic users, this typically ranges from ₹ 115 to ₹ 130 per kW per month.
Yes, if you believe your sanctioned load is higher than your actual peak demand, you can apply for a load reduction through the DHBVN or UHBVN online portals or your local sub-division office, which will lower your monthly fixed charges.
