Gurugram, Faridabad industry bodies urge tariff parity with neighbouring states

Industrial representatives from Gurugram and Faridabad, affiliated with the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), have urged the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) to align the state’s industrial power tariffs with those in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan.

They submitted a comparative report, arguing that Haryana’s higher industrial tariffs hurt competitiveness and deter investment.

HERC member Mukesh Garg said the commission can only act on formal petitions under the Electricity Act, 2003. He advised industries to file objections officially.

Garg noted that the commission is already reviewing a petition filed by the Yamunanagar-Jagadhri Chamber of Industry and Commerce and Laghu Udyog Bharati. He added that prior to the issuance of the 2025–26 tariff order on March 28, a public hearing was held where stakeholders were invited to present their views.
