Residents of Chandigarh will have to pay 1.5 to 2.5 times more for water from April 1. The rates will vary from ₹3 per kilolitre (kl) to ⁹20 per kl depending on the consumption.

The last water tariff hike that the UT had seen was in 2011. The biggest hike has been imposed for the consumers with most consumption – above 60 kilolitres. There is no change in tariff for commercial, industrial and institutional consumers. For residential consumers, the rates have been increased from ₹4 to ⁹6 per kl.
