How much does a electrician charge in Delhi in 2026?

A electrician in Delhi charges ₹188–₹3125 depending on the job in 2026. Switchboard replacement (6-point) costs about ₹500–₹1250, while bigger jobs go higher. Visit/inspection is usually ₹100–300, adjusted into the final bill. Material is normally billed separately.

What is the cheapest and most expensive electrician job?

The lowest-cost electrician job in Delhi is light fixture install (from ₹188), and the highest is inverter + battery setup (up to ₹3125). Always get the job-specific rate before work starts.

Is it cheaper to hire a electrician directly than through an app?

Yes. Commission-based apps add 15–30% on top of the worker's rate, so you pay more while the electrician earns less. On Solve24 you contact verified electricians directly and pay them directly — zero platform commission — so the rates above are what you actually pay.

Does electrician cost include materials?

No — the rates above are labour only. Materials (parts, fittings, paint, etc.) are billed separately at actual cost. Ask the electrician to quote labour and material separately, with the brand of any part, so the final bill is clear.

What affects the final electrician quote?

Job complexity. A straightforward task quotes at the low end; anything behind walls, at height, or needing specialised tools trends higher.
Materials. Rates above are labour-only. Parts, fixtures and consumables are charged at actual cost — always ask for brand + model when the part is significant.
Time of day. Night visits (after 9 PM) and Sundays typically carry a 20–30% emergency surcharge.
City tier. A electrician in Mumbai can cost 40% more than the same job in Jaipur.
Managed platforms add 20–40% on top of the worker's actual rate. Solve24 adds zero — you pay the worker directly.

How to avoid being overcharged

Get a quote before the visit. Send a photo of the problem — any verified electrician on Solve24 can give a ballpark in minutes.
Confirm the visit charge. Most professionals charge ₹100–300 to inspect; this is normally adjusted against the final bill if you hire them.
Get labour and material priced separately. A ₹2,000 part and ₹500 labour is very different from ₹2,500 bundled.
Check ratings and reviews. A electrician with 20+ reviews and 4.5★+ rarely surprise-bills.
Pay after the job is done and tested.
