Kohima: The Department of Power in Nagaland has officially filed its Aggregate Revenue Requirement and Tariff Proposal for the 2026-27 fiscal year. The Nagaland Electricity Regulatory Commission accepted the filing as Petition No. 02/2026-27. It covers rates from October 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027.
Officials submitted the original paperwork on November 28, 2025, but followed up with revised calculations on July 27, 2026. The new proposal sets the Net Revenue Requirement at Rs 883.18 crore. This is a clear drop from the Rs 953.86 crore approved in the March 28, 2025, order.
Rates are changing. Post-paid domestic users face slab rates between Rs 6.10 and Rs 8.30 per kWh. Commercial users start at Rs 8.60, while industrial rates begin at Rs 7.50. Farmers will pay Rs 3.85 and EV stations face a charge of Rs 8.80 per kWh. Pre-paid options are cheaper across the board: Rs 6.05 for domestic, Rs 7.10 for industrial, Rs 7.35 for bulk, Rs 9.00 for commercial, and Rs 3.45 for agriculture.
Public lighting costs will shift to consumers as a monthly surcharge. This fee will range from Rs 10 to Rs 25. The DIPR reported the deadline for feedback. "The Commission has admitted the petition and has invited suggestions and objections from all stakeholders by August 14, 2026," the report stated.
