The Haryana Electricity Tariff FY 2025–26 is regulated by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) and implemented through the state’s distribution utilities. Haryana remains one of India’s largest industrial and commercial power markets, with significant opportunities for Open Access, captive renewable energy projects, and corporate power procurement.To understand the Open Access regulations, eligibility criteria, banking provisions, and renewable energy framework in Haryana, read our Haryana Open Access Regulatory Policy guide.

Haryana benefits from strong solar irradiation and large tracts of suitable land for utility-scale solar projects, particularly in:
Fatehabad
Hisar
Sirsa
The state government continues to support solar park development and renewable energy investments across these regions.
The HERC Draft DSM Regulations 2025 aim to strengthen scheduling discipline and grid stability.
| Provision | Details |
|---|---|
| DSM Framework | Stricter enforcement proposed |
| Objective | Reduce scheduling deviations |
| Impact | Inaccurate scheduling may result in additional penalty charges |
Additional Surcharge of approximately ₹1.21 per unit can reduce third-party Open Access savings.
Banking is available only on a monthly basis, requiring careful project sizing and energy planning.
Two DISCOM service territories create operational and regulatory complexity.
Strict DSM implementation increases scheduling and forecasting requirements.
Large industrial clusters across Gurugram-Manesar, Panipat, Karnal, and surrounding regions create strong Open Access demand.
Captive and Group Captive structures remain highly attractive due to exemptions from CSS and Additional Surcharge.
HERC Renewable Energy Regulations provide long-term regulatory visibility for power purchase agreements (PPAs).
Certain pre-2019 captive solar projects continue to enjoy significant wheeling and transmission charge benefits.
Commercial buildings, IT parks, logistics facilities, and industrial parks consume large volumes of electricity, creating substantial savings opportunities through renewable power procurement.
Rising effective electricity costs due to FSA and statutory charges strengthen the business case for Open Access and captive renewable energy projects.
