Chhattisgarh electricity bill calculator — how your bijli bill is built
CSPDCL distributes power across Chhattisgarh on a single tariff of ₹4.40 for the first 100 units, ₹4.50 to 200, ₹6.00 to 400, ₹7.00 to 600 and ₹8.80 beyond, with a ₹20/kW monthly fixed charge (connections up to 5 kW), 8% duty and ₹0.15/unit FAC.
Raipur, Bilaspur and the steel belt all bill the same ladder — and the half-bill scheme makes the first 200 units exceptionally cheap.
Example: your Chhattisgarh bill for 250 units
Take a Chhattisgarh household using 250 units in one month on CSPDCL. The telescopic energy charge is 100 × ₹4.4 + 100 × ₹4.5 + 50 × ₹6 = ₹1190.00. Add the fixed charge (₹40.00), FAC (₹37.50) and electricity duty (₹65.80) — that gives a gross bill of ₹1368.90. The state subsidy of ₹445.00 is then deducted, leaving ₹888.30 payable.
Here is the same 250 units across every DISCOM in Chhattisgarh — useful when your board's name differs from the common one:
| DISCOM | Energy | Fixed | FAC | Duty | Subsidy | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CSPDCL | ₹1190.00 | ₹40.00 | ₹37.50 | ₹65.80 | −₹445.00 | ₹888.30 |
Chhattisgarh subsidy / free-unit scheme
The state's half-bill scheme, extended from 100 to 200 units on 1 December 2025, bills the first 200 units at half rate (half of ₹4.40/₹4.50) for households consuming up to 400 units a month. Consumption above 400 units is billed in full. The calculator applies the discount automatically.
Chhattisgarh tariff details — live data
The table below is generated from the same data the calculator uses, so what you see here is exactly what is charged. Looking for the per-unit electricity price in The slab column IS your per-unit rate — each rate applies only to the units inside its own slab range.
| DISCOM | Slabs | Fixed charge | FAC |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSPDCL | 1–100 @ ₹4.4, 101–200 @ ₹4.5, 201–400 @ ₹6, 401–600 @ ₹7, 601–above 601 @ ₹8.8 | ₹20/kW load (₹20 flat if ≤ 0U) | ₹0.15/unit |
Remember: in telescopic billing each slab rate applies only to the units inside its range. Many websites multiply one rate by total units — that is wrong and overstates bills. This calculator, like your DISCOM, adds slab by slab.
4 practical ways to lower your Chhattisgarh bill
- The first two slabs are the cheapest per unit in central India — staying under 200 units keeps bills remarkably small.
- Slab rates bite above 200 units; stagger the geyser and motor to stay under the half-bill band.
- A solar system pairs well with the ₹7.00–₹8.80 top slabs for larger households.
- Use the meter-reading mode after the mid-month billing cycle to see where you stand.
