How to Calculate Your Daman & Diu Electricity Bill
Understanding how your electricity bill is calculated helps you verify your bill. Here's the exact method DGVCL uses for Daman & Diu islands — simpler than mainland India with just 3 slabs.
Read Your Meter
Note down the current meter reading. Subtract the previous month's reading to find units consumed. Your electricity bill also shows this directly as "Units Consumed" in kWh.
Apply Slab Rates (Telescopic)
Split consumption across 3 slabs. 0–100 × ₹4.00 = ₹400. 101–200 × ₹6.50 = ₹650. Above 200 × ₹9.00 = varies. Add all slab amounts. Remember — FIRST 100 UNITS FREE, every unit is charged from unit 1.
Calculate Electricity Duty
Electricity Duty = 5% × total energy charges (a percentage of energy, not per-unit). For example: ₹1,050 energy charges → 5% = ₹52.50 duty. Collected through your DGVCL bill.
Add FAC Adjustment
FAC (Fuel Adjustment Charge) = ₹0.25 × total units consumed — always a surcharge (never a refund). It is revised periodically by DGVCL based on diesel import costs to the islands.
Add Fixed Charges & Meter/Customer Charge
Fixed Charge = ₹90 per month flat (domestic). No separate meter rent. This is charged regardless of how many units you consume — even zero-unit months incur ₹90.
Sum = Total Bill
Total Bill = Energy Charges + Electricity Duty (5%) + FAC (₹0.25/unit) + Fixed Charge (₹90). Check this against what's printed on your DGVCL bill for accuracy.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Daman & Diu's Slab Tariff System
The DGVCL tariff model presents unique challenges — higher base rates reflect diesel generation costs, and the absence of any free slab means every household pays from unit 1.
✅ Advantages of the Slab System
- Simple 3-slab structure is easy to understand — no complex 6-tier calculation. Staying under 100 units keeps you in the lowest ₹4.00/unit slab.
- Progressive billing encourages conservation — staying below 100 units keeps your effective rate at the lowest island slab.
- Each slab is charged independently (telescopic billing), so crossing into a higher slab doesn't retroactively increase charges on earlier units.
- The structure is transparent — your DGVCL bill shows a clear energy + FAC + duty + fixed breakdown with only 3 slabs.
- The fixed charge of ₹90/month is predictable and does not vary with sanctioned load, simplifying household budgeting.
- DGVCL is expanding solar and wind energy integration, which may gradually reduce fuel-cost dependency and stabilise DGVCL tariffs.
⚠️ Disadvantages & Limitations
- NO FREE SLAB — unlike most Indian states, Daman & Diu has zero free units. Every unit from unit 1 is chargeable, making electricity expensive for low-income island residents.
- Starting rate of ₹4.00/unit is among the highest base rates in India — almost 2× mainland states like AP (₹1.90 starting rate).
- FAC of ₹0.25/unit is always a surcharge — unlike mainland FAC which can be a refund, island FAC always adds to your bill.
- 5% electricity duty on energy charges adds significant cost, especially for high-consumption households in the ₹9.00/unit slab.
- Power supply reliability varies significantly across outer islands — remote areas like Car Nicobar and Great Nicobar face more frequent outages.
- Solar net metering infrastructure is still developing in the islands, limiting the ability of rooftop solar owners to fully offset high bills through export credits.
20 Proven Ways to Reduce Your Electricity Bill in Daman & Diu
Daman & Diu's tropical humid climate means fans and ACs run year-round. With high island base rates, every unit saved matters more. These tips are tailored to island living and the DGVCL tariff structure.
Optimise Your AC Use
Daman and Diu's coastal climate is humid year-round — air coolers work better than on dry inland areas but AC still dominates. Set AC at 24°C, use ceiling fans alongside, clean filters monthly, and use timers. At ₹4.50–₹7.00/unit in the paid slabs, each hour of AC use matters. A 5-star 1.5-ton AC saves 25–30% vs older models.
Switch to 5-Star Appliances
A 5-star AC uses up to 25–30% less electricity than a 2-star equivalent. BEE star ratings ensure you know the real consumption. When replacing old appliances, always check the energy label.
Replace All Bulbs with LED
LEDs use just 8–10 watts versus 40–60 watts for incandescent bulbs. If you replace 10 bulbs in your home with LEDs, you'll save roughly 300–400 units annually in Daman & Diu.
Go Solar — Excellent ROI in Daman & Diu
Daman & Diu receives 5.0–5.5 kWh/m²/day of solar radiation year-round. At island rates of ₹4–₹9/unit (with first 100 units free), solar payback is excellent. A 2kW system generates 8–10 units/day and can offset ₹1,200–₹1,800/month. PM Surya Ghar subsidy (up to ₹78,000 for 3kW) is available to island residents.
Install Roof Insulation
Daman & Diu's flat concrete rooftops absorb intense heat. Adding a false ceiling with rock wool or foam insulation can reduce indoor temperatures by 3–5°C, cutting AC or cooler usage significantly.
Shift Heavy Appliances to Night
Run washing machines, geysers, and dishwashers in the evening or night (after 10 pm). It reduces simultaneous load in your home and prevents your circuit from tripping during peak afternoon hours.
Stop Phantom Load (Standby Power)
TVs, set-top boxes, chargers, and microwaves left plugged in keep drawing power even when idle. In a typical Indian home, standby power wastes 50–100 units per year. Use switchable power strips.
Set AC at 24°C, Not 18°C
Every 1°C increase in AC temperature setting saves roughly 6% electricity. Setting your AC at 24°C instead of 18°C can save 30–40% on cooling costs — BEE recommends 24°C as the national standard.
Use Reflective Window Film
Daman & Diu's strong west-facing windows bring in intense heat during afternoons. Metallic reflective films cut solar heat gain by 70–80%, keeping rooms cooler and reducing cooler or AC load.
Use Solar Water Heaters
Electric geysers are the biggest electricity guzzlers after ACs. A 100-litre solar water heater costs ₹15,000–₹25,000 but saves 200–400 units annually, paying for itself in 3–4 years in Daman & Diu's sun.
Optimise Cooler Usage
Keep your air cooler's pads moist and clean. Dirty pads reduce cooling by 30%. Also, ensure cross-ventilation in the room — coolers need an escape route for warm air to function well, and work best in drier inland areas.
Track Monthly Consumption
Read your meter every week, not just when the bill arrives. Spotting a spike early lets you investigate — a refrigerator compressor fault or a geyser left on can quietly add 100+ units in a month.
Daman & Diu Electricity Bill: Everything You Need to Know in 2026
Daman & Diu electricity is one of the most consumer-friendly tariffs in India, thanks to the free first 100 units for domestic consumers. After the 2020 merger of Dadra & Nagar Haveli (DNH) with Daman & Diu (DD) into one UT, DGVCL became the unified electricity distributor across Daman, Diu and Silvassa under a single tariff structure.
Understanding DGVCL and How DGVCL Tariffs Are Set
The Daman & Diu Islands electricity distribution is managed by DGVCL under the oversight of the UT Administration. Since the islands are a Union Territory, electricity regulation falls under the central government rather than a state electricity regulatory commission. The tariff in this calculator reflects the current island domestic tariff for FY 2025–26, applied uniformly across all Daman & Diu islands regardless of location.
FAC (Fuel Adjustment Charge) of ₹0.25/unit is a surcharge reflecting diesel logistics costs — unlike mainland India where FAC may sometimes be a refund, island FAC is always a positive surcharge due to the guaranteed high cost of importing diesel by sea.
Why Daman & Diu Bills Are Consistently High
Unlike mainland states where bills spike only in peak summer with heavy AC use, Daman & Diu bills are consistently high year-round due to three structural factors: first 100 units free (every unit from unit 1 is charged), high starting rate (₹4.00/unit vs ₹1.90–₹3.50 in most mainland states), and the FAC diesel surcharge adding ₹0.25/unit on top. A Daman household using 200 units pays approximately ₹1,243 — while a comparable consumption in many mainland states costs ₹600–₹800.
Daman & Diu Free Electricity Scheme — What You Need to Know
Daman & Diu has NO blanket free electricity scheme. Every unit from unit 1 is charged at ₹4.00/unit — this is a fundamental difference from mainland states that offer 0–100 or 0–200 free units. There is no subsidy scheme comparable to mainland concessions. The only way to reduce costs is energy efficiency or rooftop solar net metering.
How to Check Your Daman & Diu Electricity Bill Online
Pay your DGVCL electricity bill through PhonePe, Google Pay, or Paytm by selecting DGVCL under electricity payments, or through the UT Administration e-services portal at andaman.gov.in. You need your Consumer Account Number (CA number) printed on your current bill. BHIM UPI is also supported — save your receipt after payment.
Net Metering for Solar Users in Daman & Diu
With ₹4.50–₹7.00/unit rates in the paid slabs and Daman's excellent coastal solar irradiance (~5.2 kWh/m²/day), rooftop solar payback in Daman & Diu is typically 4–6 years. PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana provides ₹30,000–₹78,000 in central subsidy for 1–3 kW systems. Apply at pmsuryagarh.gov.in or contact DGVCL at Daman for net metering support.

About the Calculator
This tool calculates your Daman & Diu electricity bill using the official DGVCL tariff slabs for 2025–26. It covers all three areas — Daman, Diu, and Silvassa (Dadra & Nagar Haveli) — which follow the same unified tariff structure under the merged UT.
Unlike generic calculators, every charge component is computed separately: energy charges slab-by-slab, electricity duty as 5% of energy charges, FAC on all units, and flat fixed charges. This matches exactly how DGVCL island bills are generated.
- Telescopic slab billing — each unit priced at its own slab rate
- Covers domestic and commercial connection types
- Editable slab rates — test custom tariff scenarios
- Visual charts for slab cost breakdown and multi-unit comparison
- Works offline after first load — no server calls during calculation
Why Official DGVCL Tariff, Not Estimated Rates
Many online calculators use rounded or outdated per-unit figures. This calculator sources slabs directly from the DGVCL DGVCL tariff order for 2025–26. The current domestic structure — ₹4.00, ₹6.50, and ₹9.00 per unit across three slabs — is verified against official DGVCL UT billing documentation.
FAC (₹0.25/unit, a fuel surcharge) and Electricity Duty (5% of energy charges) are separately applied, as they appear on your actual bill. This gives you an estimate accurate to within 2–4% of your real DGVCL island bill — far more precise than flat per-unit calculators.

How to Use the Daman & Diu Electricity Bill Calculator
What Are Slabs in Electricity Billing?
Electricity slabs are consumption ranges, each with a fixed per-unit rate. Daman & Diu uses a telescopic slab system — meaning each slab rate applies only to units within that range. Your total consumption is never multiplied by a single rate.
Unlike many mainland states, Daman & Diu has FIRST 100 UNITS FREE. Every unit from the very first one is chargeable at ₹4.00/unit. This reflects the high cost of diesel-based island power generation.
The key thresholds to watch are 100 units and 200 units. Staying at or below 100 units keeps you in the lowest ₹4.00/unit slab entirely.

Source: DGVCL Tariff Order 2025–26. Uniform rate across all Daman & Diu islands.
Formula: Total Bill = Energy Charges + Electricity Duty (5% of energy) + FAC (₹0.25 × units) + Fixed Charge (₹90/month)
▸ Energy (100×₹4 + 100×₹6.50) = ₹1,050
▸ Duty = ₹52.50 | FAC = ₹50
▸ Fixed = ₹90
▸ Total ≈ ₹1,243
FAC = Fuel Adjustment Charge. In Daman & Diu it is ₹0.20 per unit — always a surcharge (never a refund). This reflects the high cost of importing fuel to UT areas for power generation. It is applied on all units consumed. On a 200-unit bill, FAC adds ₹50.
Electricity Duty = 5% of energy charges (domestic) — not GST, and not a flat per-unit levy. It is a percentage-based UT levy on energy charges, collected by DGVCL on behalf of the Daman & Diu UT Administration.

Your Key Rights as an Daman & Diu Electricity Consumer
Solar Rooftop & Net Metering in Daman & Diu — Complete 2026 Guide
Daman & Diu has excellent solar potential and India's highest island electricity costs — the ideal combination for rooftop solar. At ₹4–₹9/unit with first 100 units free, solar payback periods are among the shortest for island consumers.
How Net Metering Works in Daman & Diu
When your rooftop solar system produces more electricity than you consume, the surplus units are exported to the DGVCL island grid. These exported units are credited to your bill at the DGVCL-notified export rate. Your monthly bill = Units consumed from grid × tariff rate minus export credit.
Net metering is available under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, typically up to the sanctioned load (1–5 kW for most homes). Exported units are compensated at the DGVCL-notified feed-in tariff. At island rates of ₹4–₹9/unit, self-consumption of solar is especially valuable — every unit generated displaces a high-cost island unit.

Smart Meters & Prepaid Electricity in Daman & Diu — What You Need to Know
Under the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM), Daman & Diu is in early phases of smart meter rollout in Daman. Here's how it changes your billing.
📟 What is a Smart Prepaid Meter?
A smart prepaid meter works like a mobile recharge — you top up before you consume. When your balance runs low, you receive an SMS alert. No more bill shock, no due dates to remember, and no disconnection for non-payment. The meter automatically cuts supply when balance reaches zero.
The same DGVCL DGVCL tariff slabs apply to prepaid meters — there is no separate "prepaid rate." However, the billing cycle changes from monthly to real-time, and you can track consumption daily via the DGVCL app.
Benefits of Smart Meters for Consumers
- Daily or hourly consumption visibility via app
- No estimated billing — only actual readings
- Instant low-balance SMS alerts
- Eliminates meter reading visits
- Faster fault detection by DGVCL
📍 Rollout Status in Daman & Diu (2026)
Smart meter rollout is in early phases in Daman city. Areas including Diu and Silvassa are expected to follow by 2027–28 under NSGM central funding. Check with your local DGVCL sub-division office for rollout status in your specific area.
