As far as I am aware, Bihar's electricity rates and tariffs are updated annually on April 1st. So, there have been some adjustments to electricity rates this year as well. The Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission's (BERC) tariff order for 2023–2024 shows a considerable increase in unit rates, up almost 24% from the previous year. 

On the other hand, in order to offset the increase in unit rates, the Bihar government has also raised the subsidy.
