Water bills set to rise 5% every yr as HMWSSB seeks to plug revenue gap

Hyderabad residents will pay more for water and sewerage services annually. The Core Urban Region Bill, 2026, mandates a five percent yearly increase. This hike follows a fifteen-year period without prior water tariff adjustments. Sewerage charges will now be assessed independently of water supply services. This new provision impacts nearly ten lakh consumers across Greater Hyderabad.
