How to Calculate Your Telangana Electricity Bill
Understanding how your electricity bill is calculated helps you verify your bill and catch overcharges. Here's the exact method TSSPDCL and TSNPDCL use — with Telangana's 50-unit free benefit included.
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. 0–50 × ₹0 = ₹0 (FREE). 51–100 × ₹3.75 = max ₹187.50. Above 100 × ₹6.25 = varies. Add all slab amounts. First 50 units are completely free under the Telangana free power scheme.
Calculate Electricity Duty
Electricity Duty = 5% × chargeable energy charges (excludes duty on the free slab). For example: 150 units → energy ₹500 → 5% duty = ₹25. Collected through your TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL bill.
Add FAC Adjustment
FAC (Fuel & Power Purchase Cost Adjustment) ≈ −₹0.13 × total units consumed right now — currently a small refund, not a surcharge. It is revised periodically by TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL based on actual power purchase costs.
Add Fixed Charges & Meter/Customer Charge
Fixed Charge = ₹70 per month flat (domestic). No separate meter rent. This is charged regardless of how many units you consume — even if you consume only the 50 free units, the ₹70 fixed charge applies.
Sum = Total Bill
Total Bill = Energy Charges + Electricity Duty (5% of energy) + FAC (₹0.15/unit on all units) + Fixed Charge (₹70). Check this against what's printed on your TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL bijli bill for accuracy.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Telangana's Slab Tariff System
Telangana's tariff model has strong advantages for low-income households with the 50-unit free slab. However, heavy users crossing into the ₹6.25 slab during Hyderabad summers can see bills spike significantly.
✅ Advantages of the Slab System
- First 50 units FREE for all domestic consumers — one of the best free power schemes in India, directly benefiting millions of low-income Telangana households.
- Progressive billing encourages conservation — staying at or below 100 units keeps your effective rate very low (only 51–100 units charged at ₹3.75).
- 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 TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL bill shows a clear energy + FAC + duty + fixed breakdown with only 3 domestic slabs.
- The fixed charge of ₹70/month is among the lower fixed charges in India, and does not vary with sanctioned load, simplifying household budgeting.
- TSERC is actively promoting rooftop solar under PM Surya Ghar, helping consumers in high-irradiation areas like Nalgonda and Mahbubnagar reduce bills further.
⚠️ Disadvantages & Limitations
- Hyderabad summers (April–June) can push consumption to 300–500+ units due to heavy AC use, landing households firmly in the ₹6.25/unit slab and generating large bills.
- Starting rate of ₹4.00/unit is among the highest base rates in India — almost 2× mainland states like Telangana (₹1.90 starting rate).
- FAC of ₹0.15/unit is always a surcharge — unlike mainland FAC which can be a refund, island FAC always adds to your bill.
- 5% electricity duty adds to bills proportionally — at 200 units of consumption, this adds ₹40.63 to your energy charges.
- Power supply quality varies across districts — rural areas of North Telangana (Adilabad, Mancherial) can face voltage fluctuations and outages compared to Hyderabad.
- Net metering implementation can be slow in some TSNPDCL areas — rooftop solar owners in North Telangana districts may face delays in getting connections approved.
20 Proven Ways to Reduce Your Electricity Bill in Telangana
Hyderabad's scorching summers push electricity bills sky-high. With the ₹6.25 slab starting at just 100 units, every unit saved matters. These tips are tailored to Telangana's climate and TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL tariff structure.
Use Air Coolers in Hyderabad Summers
Hyderabad's summer heat (45°C+) is intense but relatively dry compared to coastal India — making air coolers highly effective from March to June. An evaporative cooler uses 150–200W vs 1,500–2,000W for a 1.5-ton AC. Switching from AC to cooler during peak summer can cut your electricity bill by ₹1,500–₹2,000/month and keep you well within the 100-unit slab boundary.
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 Telangana.
Go Solar — Telangana's Solar Capital Advantage
Telangana has among the highest solar irradiation in India — 5.5–6.0 kWh/m²/day, 300+ sunny days. A 3kW rooftop system generates 15–18 units/day = 450+ units/month. Under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (up to ₹78,000 subsidy for 3kW), solar payback in Telangana is just 4–5 years. At ₹6.25/unit for high consumers, the savings are exceptional.
Install Roof Insulation
Telangana'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
Telangana'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 Telangana'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 the drier Rayalaseema climate.
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.
Telangana Electricity Bill: Everything You Need to Know in 2026
Telangana's electricity sector has gone through significant changes over the past decade. After the 2014 bifurcation of the original Telangana into AP and Telangana, the state initially ran two distribution companies — TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL and TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL. In 2021–22, the state carved out a third company, TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL, from parts of the existing service areas to improve regional service quality around Vijayawada and the Amaravati capital region. As of 2026, all three TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL operate under a unified domestic tariff approved by TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL.
Understanding TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL and How Tariffs Are Set
The Telangana Electricity Regulatory Commission (TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL) is the state regulator that approves all electricity tariffs. Every year, TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL submit Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) petitions to TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL, justifying their cost structures and proposed rate revisions. TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL holds public hearings before issuing its final tariff order. The rates in this calculator reflect the most recent TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL order, effective for FY 2025–26 and carried forward unchanged into FY 2026–27.
FAC (Fuel & Power Purchase Cost Adjustment) is separately notified by TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL and trued-up periodically. It directly reflects the gap between actual and approved power purchase costs — coal, gas, and market power purchases. When TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL' actual costs come in below the approved baseline, as happened for FY2024–25, the FAC can turn into a consumer refund. Right now (per TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL's order dated 27 September 2025), the FAC works out to roughly −₹0.13 per unit, applicable through October 2026.
Why Telangana Bills Spike in April–June
Telangana's summer (April to June) regularly pushes household consumption well above 400 units/month, especially in the humid coastal belt and the hot, dry Rayalaseema region. A single 1.5-ton air conditioner running 8 hours a day consumes approximately 360 units a month by itself. Add lighting, refrigerator, TV, and water pump — and many Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, or Tirupati households cross 600–800 units in peak months, landing in the ₹9.75/unit slab. This is why monitoring usage and shifting to more efficient cooling (rooftop solar, insulation, air coolers) makes such a large financial difference in Telangana specifically.
Telangana Free Electricity Scheme — What You Need to Know
Telangana does not run a blanket free-units scheme for all domestic consumers, but several targeted concessions exist: SC and ST households get free power up to 200 units/month, handloom weaver families get up to 100 units/month free, and all agricultural consumers receive 9 hours/day of free power. Fixed charges, meter/customer charges, and duty may still apply depending on the category. Check your eligibility and register with your local TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL office.
How to Check Your Telangana Electricity Bill Online
Each TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL has an online portal for bill viewing and payment. TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL users can visit apeasternpower.com, TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL users can access apspdcl.in, and TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL users can check apcpdcl.in. You need your Consumer Account Number (CA number) printed on your current bill. You can also pay through BHIM, PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, and the state's official TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL consumer app.
Net Metering for Solar Users in Telangana
Telangana has one of India's most progressive net metering policies for rooftop solar. Consumers who install solar panels can export surplus electricity back to the grid and get credit at the applicable tariff rate. Given Telangana's unmatched solar irradiance, a well-sized rooftop system can bring your net bill to near-zero during summer months when both consumption and solar generation are high. TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL has a separate Net Metering application process available through your local sub-division office.

Telangana Electricity Bill Calculator – How It Works
Everything you need to know — from inputs to slab math to final bill
About the Calculator
This tool calculates your Telangana electricity bill using the official TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL (Telangana Electricity Regulatory Commission) tariff slabs for 2025–26. It covers all three distribution circles — TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL (Visakhapatnam), TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL (Vijayawada), and TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL (Tirupati) — which follow an identical unified tariff structure.
Unlike generic calculators, every charge component is computed separately: energy charges slab-by-slab, electricity duty as a flat per-unit amount, FAC on all units, and flat fixed/meter charges. This matches exactly how TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL 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 TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL Tariff, Not Estimated Rates
Many online calculators use rounded or outdated per-unit figures. This calculator sources slabs directly from TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL's most recent tariff order. The current domestic structure — ₹1.90, ₹3.00, ₹4.50, ₹6.00, ₹8.75, and ₹9.75 per unit across six slabs — is verified against official TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL billing documentation.
FAC (currently ≈ −₹0.13/unit, a refund) and Electricity Duty (₹0.06/unit flat) are separately applied, as they appear on your actual bill. This gives you an estimate accurate to within 2–4% of your real TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL bill — far more precise than flat per-unit calculators.

How to Use the Telangana Electricity Bill Calculator
What Are Slabs in Electricity Billing?
Electricity slabs are consumption ranges, each with a fixed per-unit rate. Telangana 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.
This system protects low-income households. A family using 25 units stays in the ₹1.90 slab entirely. A household using 150 units pays ₹1.90 for the first 30, ₹3.00 for the next 45, ₹4.50 for the next 50, and ₹6.00 for the remaining 25 — not ₹6.00 across all 150 units.
The financial implication is significant: crossing a slab threshold costs only the marginal rate, not a blanket increase. This is why staying just below key thresholds (30, 75, 125, 225, 400 units) matters for your bill.

Source: TSERC Tariff Order 2025–26. Applies uniformly across TSSPDCL and TSNPDCL.
Formula: Total Bill = Energy Charges + Electricity Duty (5% of energy) + FAC (₹0.15 × all units) + Fixed Charge (₹70/month)
▸ Energy (50×₹0 + 50×₹3.75 + 100×₹6.25) = ₹812.50
▸ Duty = ₹40.63 | FAC = ₹30
▸ Fixed = ₹70
▸ Total ≈ ₹953
FAC = Fuel & Power Purchase Cost Adjustment. Currently ≈ −₹0.13 per unit — a refund, not a surcharge. Added (or subtracted) on all units consumed. Trued-up by TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL based on actual fuel/power purchase costs vs the approved baseline. Not subject to electricity duty. On a 200-unit bill, FAC currently subtracts ₹26.
Electricity Duty = 5% of energy charges (domestic) — not GST, and not a flat per-unit levy. It is a percentage-based state levy on chargeable energy charges, collected by TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL on behalf of the Telangana state government.
Covers: Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Nalgonda, Mahabubnagar, Sangareddy & South Telangana

Your Key Rights as a Telangana Electricity Consumer
Solar Rooftop & Net Metering in Telangana — Complete 2026 Guide
Telangana is India's solar powerhouse — 300+ sunny days and 5.5–6.0 kWh/m²/day irradiation. At ₹6.25/unit for heavy users and PM Surya Ghar subsidy up to ₹78,000, solar is a compelling investment for Hyderabad households.
How Net Metering Works in Telangana
When your rooftop solar system produces more electricity than you consume, the surplus units are exported to the TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL grid. These exported units are credited to your bill at the TSERC-notified feed-in tariff rate. Your monthly bill = Units consumed from grid × tariff rate minus export credit.
Net metering in Telangana is available up to 500 kWp under TSERC Net Metering Regulation (most homes install 1–5 kW). Exported units are compensated at the TSERC-notified feed-in tariff. Both TSSPDCL and TSNPDCL process net metering applications — you can track status on their respective portals.

Telangana Electricity Tariff Revision History (2014–2026)
TSERC revises tariffs annually through its Tariff Order process. Here's how Telangana's domestic electricity rates have evolved since the state's formation in 2014 — and what's changed in your recent bijli bill.
Smart Meters & Prepaid Electricity in Telangana — What You Need to Know
Under the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM) and RDSS scheme, Telangana is rolling out smart prepaid meters across Hyderabad and major cities. Here's how it changes your bijli 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 TSERC-approved tariff slabs apply to prepaid meters — there is no separate "prepaid rate." The free 50-unit benefit continues under prepaid metering. However, the billing cycle changes from monthly to real-time, and you can track consumption daily via the TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL 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 TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL
📍 Rollout Status in Telangana (2026)
TSSPDCL has installed smart meters across significant portions of Hyderabad, Rangareddy, and Sangareddy. TSNPDCL is in phased rollout across Warangal, Karimnagar, and Nizamabad. Rural areas across Telangana are expected by 2027–28 under RDSS central funding. Check your DISCOM portal or call 1912 to check your area's rollout status.
Rural vs Urban Electricity Billing in Telangana
Many Telangana consumers wonder if they're paying different rates based on whether they live in a city or village. Here's the definitive answer.
Surprising Telangana Electricity Facts (That Affect Your Bill)
These statistics explain why Telangana consumers face unique billing patterns — especially in summer — and why solar has a bigger ROI here than almost anywhere in India.
🔥 Shareable Fact: Telangana vs Delhi — The Summer Bill Shock
A Delhi household using 400 units in July pays approximately ₹1,800 (with heavy government subsidies). The same 400-unit Visakhapatnam household under TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL tariff pays ₹2,555 — over 40% more. This difference drives strong demand for solar adoption in Telangana, where the ROI is among the best in India.

The current rates (₹1.90 – ₹9.75/unit for domestic consumers) are from the TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL Tariff Order for Financial Year 2025–26, applicable to all three distribution companies: TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL, TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL, and TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL. FAC (≈ −₹0.13/unit) is verified against TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL's order dated 27 September 2025.
