Understanding Electricity Tariffs in India
Electricity tariffs in India are set independently by each state's Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) or, for Union Territories, the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) — not by the central government. Each regulator approves a tariff order for the DISCOM(s) operating in its territory, covering per-unit slab rates, fixed or demand charges, and a set of connection categories such as Domestic, Commercial, Industrial and Agriculture. Most residential tariffs are telescopic — each consumption slab is billed at its own rate — though some non-domestic categories use a single flat rate instead.
Why Electricity Tariff Rates Differ by State
Rates vary from state to state because each SERC sets tariffs based on that state's own cost of power purchase and distribution, the DISCOM's revenue requirement, cross-subsidy rules between consumer categories, and state-specific subsidy schemes (for example, free or discounted units for low-consumption households in some states). Electricity duty — a state government levy added on top of the energy charge — is also set independently and differs by state and by connection category.
Connection Categories in This Directory
This directory covers four connection categories, wherever a DISCOM publishes rates for them: Domestic (Residential) for households, Commercial for shops and businesses, Industrial for factories and manufacturing units, and Agriculture for irrigation and farm-pump connections. We show one representative rate per category rather than every load-based sub-tier a state may publish; a handful of DISCOMs have no distinct agricultural tariff, or a reliable published rate for it could not be verified — those are omitted rather than estimated.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many states and DISCOMs does this tariff directory cover?
All 36 Indian states and union territories are covered, one directory page per DISCOM, with a combined 138 category-wise tariff entries (Domestic, Commercial, Industrial and Agriculture, where published).
What connection categories are included in each tariff page?
Domestic (residential), Commercial and Industrial tariffs are covered for every DISCOM. Agriculture tariffs are included wherever a DISCOM publishes one — a handful of states have no distinct agricultural category, or we could not verify a reliable published rate, and that category is simply omitted rather than guessed.
Where does the tariff data come from?
Each rate is sourced from that state’s Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC/JERC) tariff order or the DISCOM’s own official tariff schedule. The exact source and last-verified date are shown on every state’s tariff page.
How often is this tariff directory updated?
Tariff orders are typically revised once a year (sometimes with mid-year surcharge changes) by the respective regulator. We refresh our data as new orders are verified — check the "Last Updated" date on each state’s card above.
Does this directory include load-based tiers (e.g. by connected kW/HP) or just one rate per category?
We show one representative slab structure per category rather than every load-based sub-tier a state may publish (e.g. separate rates for 0–20kW vs 20–50kW commercial connections). Where a source tariff is genuinely load-tiered, that is noted on the category card.
How is this different from the DISCOM bill calculator?
The bill calculator estimates your actual rupee bill for a given number of units on a Domestic connection. This directory is a reference of the published rates themselves, across every connection category a DISCOM serves — use it to look up rates directly, or the calculator to estimate a real bill.
