The Municipal Corporation Gurugram (MCG) has announced revised water tariff rates for consumers across the city, with the new charges coming into effect from April 1 as part of a phased annual increase plan extending till 2027.
According to MCG officials, the revised water charges will apply to residential, group housing societies, institutional, industrial and commercial consumers.
The civic body said the tariff revision includes an annual hike of nearly 5 per cent for every financial year from 2024 to 2027.
Officials said the revised pricing structure has been introduced to strengthen the financial sustainability of water supply services and promote water conservation in the rapidly growing city. Residents have also been urged to ensure timely bill payments and adopt judicious water usage practices.
Under the revised residential category rates for 2026, consumers will be charged Rs 3.04 per kilolitre for consumption up to 10 kilolitres, Rs 6.08 for 10–20 kilolitres, Rs 9.72 for 20–30 kilolitres and Rs 12.16 for consumption above 30 kilolitres. These rates will increase in 2027 to Rs 3.19, Rs 6.38, Rs 10.21 and Rs 12.76 per kilolitre, respectively.
For group housing societies, the 2026 rate has been fixed at Rs 6.08 per kilolitre for the first 20 kilolitres and Rs 12.16 beyond that limit. In 2027, these rates will rise to Rs 6.38 and Rs 12.76, respectively.
Institutional consumers will pay Rs 12.16 per kilolitre in 2026, increasing to Rs 12.76 in 2027. Industrial and commercial users will be charged Rs 18.23 per kilolitre in 2026, which will rise to Rs 19.14 in 2027.
The MCG also announced other service charges, including a disconnection and reconnection fee of Rs 1,000, meter testing charges of Rs 50 for 15 mm meters and a late payment penalty equivalent to 10 per cent of the current bill amount.
Meanwhile, the civic body has invited applications from plumbers seeking empanelment as authorised plumbers under the corporation. Officials said empanelled plumbers would also be eligible for incentives under the scheme.
MCG officials said the revised charges are expected to help improve maintenance, operation and overall efficiency of the city’s water supply infrastructure amid rising urban demand.
