Gujarat bill — quick answers
Why are Gujarat electricity bills so cheap?
Efficient, well-run DISCOMs and a stable tariff: ₹3.05–₹5.20/unit with a ₹25 fixed charge — among the lowest domestic tariffs nationwide.
Am I on a state DISCOM or Torrent?
Torrent serves Ahmedabad & Gandhinagar and Surat city. The rest of Gujarat is one of MGVCL, PGVCL, UGVCL or DGVCL — check your bill logo.

Gujarat electricity bill calculator — how your bijli bill is built
Gujarat's GUVNL utilities — MGVCL (central), PGVCL (Saurashtra), UGVCL (north) and DGVCL (south) — combined with Torrent Power in Ahmedabad–Gandhinagar–Surat bill on RGP slabs of ₹3.05 (0–50), ₹3.50 (51–100), ₹4.15 (101–250) and ₹5.20 (251+) per unit with a load-band fixed charge (₹15/25/45/70), 15% urban electricity duty and an FPPA around ₹2.70/unit. Torrent areas run their own ladder — ₹3.20/₹3.95/₹5.00 in Ahmedabad, ₹3.20/₹3.65/₹4.25/₹5.05 in Surat.
No free-unit scheme and a modest fixed fee keep the Gujarati bill clean; the main choices are GUVNL versus Torrent and urban versus rural duty (7.5% rural). Our board chips let you compare all of them in one click.
Example: your Gujarat bill for 250 units
Take a Gujarat household using 250 units in one month on MGVCL (Central). The telescopic energy charge is 50 × ₹3.05 + 50 × ₹3.5 + 150 × ₹4.15 = ₹950.00. Add the fixed charge (₹25.00), FAC (₹675.00) and electricity duty (₹247.50) — that gives a gross bill of ₹1897.50. With no subsidy in this state, ₹1897.50 is your payable.
Here is the same 250 units across every DISCOM in Gujarat — useful when your board's name differs from the common one:
| DISCOM | Energy | Fixed | FAC | Duty | Subsidy | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MGVCL (Central) | ₹950.00 | ₹25.00 | ₹675.00 | ₹247.50 | — | ₹1897.50 |
| PGVCL (Saurashtra) | ₹950.00 | ₹25.00 | ₹675.00 | ₹247.50 | — | ₹1897.50 |
| UGVCL (North) | ₹950.00 | ₹25.00 | ₹675.00 | ₹247.50 | — | ₹1897.50 |
| DGVCL (South) | ₹950.00 | ₹25.00 | ₹675.00 | ₹247.50 | — | ₹1897.50 |
| Torrent Power (Ahmedabad) | ₹1002.50 | ₹25.00 | ₹75.00 | ₹165.38 | — | ₹1267.88 |
| Torrent Power (Surat) | ₹980.00 | ₹25.00 | ₹75.00 | ₹162.00 | — | ₹1242.00 |
Does Gujarat offer a free-unit scheme?
Gujarat currently bills without a domestic free-unit subsidy, so the calculator's checkbox stays off and no green deduction line appears. That is tariff design, not an error — the energy charge is collected in full and the fixed charge, FAC and duty apply on top. If the state announces a scheme, we add it to the data and the toggle lights up automatically.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MGVCL (Central) | 1–50 @ ₹3.05, 51–100 @ ₹3.5, 101–250 @ ₹4.15, 251–above 251 @ ₹5.2 | ₹25/month | ₹2.7/unit |
| PGVCL (Saurashtra) | 1–50 @ ₹3.05, 51–100 @ ₹3.5, 101–250 @ ₹4.15, 251–above 251 @ ₹5.2 | ₹25/month | ₹2.7/unit |
| UGVCL (North) | 1–50 @ ₹3.05, 51–100 @ ₹3.5, 101–250 @ ₹4.15, 251–above 251 @ ₹5.2 | ₹25/month | ₹2.7/unit |
| DGVCL (South) | 1–50 @ ₹3.05, 51–100 @ ₹3.5, 101–250 @ ₹4.15, 251–above 251 @ ₹5.2 | ₹25/month | ₹2.7/unit |
| Torrent Power (Ahmedabad) | 1–50 @ ₹3.2, 51–200 @ ₹3.95, 201–above 201 @ ₹5 | ₹25/month | ₹0.3/unit |
| Torrent Power (Surat) | 1–50 @ ₹3.2, 51–100 @ ₹3.65, 101–250 @ ₹4.25, 251–above 251 @ ₹5.05 | ₹25/month | ₹0.3/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 Gujarat bill
- Compare GUVNL vs Torrent for your street — in a metro the private licensee may be cheaper at low units.
- Solar is so strong in Gujarat that a 3–4 kW plant often clears the bill — our solar tool sizes it.
- Cool the house before 6 pm to hold the ₹4.15 band up to 250 units.
- The ₹15 fixed fee is tiny — focus your effort on the energy slabs, not the standing charge.
Quick questions about Gujarat bills
Which Gujarat board serves my city?
MGVCL: the central belt; PGVCL: Saurashtra (Rajkot, Jamnagar); UGVCL: north (Patan, Banaskantha); DGVCL: Surat district; Torrent: Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and Surat cities.
Do I have a free-unit scheme in Gujarat?
No — Gujarat domestic connections get no free-unit credit, so the subsidy toggle correctly reports nothing active.
What is the fixed charge?
Load-band based: ₹15 up to 2 kW, ₹25 for 2–4 kW, ₹45 for 4–6 kW, ₹70 above 6 kW (Torrent: ₹25 single-phase / ₹65 three-phase). The calculator uses the ₹25 band.
How does electricity duty work?
15% of the energy + FPPA base in urban areas (7.5% rural), charged under the Gujarat Electricity Duty Act — it is on top of the GERC energy rates.
Why might Torrent differ from the boards?
Torrent has its own GERC-approved schedule — 3.20/3.95/5.00 in Ahmedabad and 3.20/3.65/4.25/5.05 in Surat — so pick the right chip for an accurate estimate.
