Starting April 2025, Karnataka residents are grappling with a surge in prices across essential services. Diesel prices rose by ₹2 per litre due to increased sales tax, while Nandini milk and curd rates climbed ₹4 per litre/kg. Electricity tariffs dropped slightly per unit but saw a ₹25 rise in fixed charges. Bengaluru introduced a solid waste management fee (₹10–₹400/month), and water bills, vehicle prices, stamp duties, and toll charges also increased. These widespread hikes have sparked public concern over affordability and the growing burden on household expenses across the state. (The News Minute)
