Lakshadweep electricity bill calculator — how your bijli bill is built
The Electricity Department of Lakshadweep bills the atolls on slabs of ₹3.55 (0–100), ₹5.30 (101–200), ₹7.70 (201–300), ₹10.05 (301–400) and ₹13.05 (401+) per unit — the LED schedule under the JERC multi-year tariff order for FY 2025-26 to 2029-30 — with a ₹25/kW monthly fixed charge.
Kavaratti and the atolls share one UT tariff for the islands' islanded, largely diesel-powered grid.
Example: your Lakshadweep bill for 250 units
Take a Lakshadweep household using 250 units in one month on Electricity Dept. The telescopic energy charge is 100 × ₹3.55 + 100 × ₹5.3 + 50 × ₹7.7 = ₹1270.00. Add the fixed charge (₹50.00), FAC (₹0.00) — that gives a gross bill of ₹1320.00. With no subsidy in this state, ₹1320.00 is your payable.
Here is the same 250 units across every DISCOM in Lakshadweep — useful when your board's name differs from the common one:
| DISCOM | Energy | Fixed | FAC | Duty | Subsidy | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electricity Dept | ₹1270.00 | ₹50.00 | ₹0.00 | ₹0.00 | — | ₹1320.00 |
Does Lakshadweep offer a free-unit scheme?
Lakshadweep 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electricity Dept | 1–100 @ ₹3.55, 101–200 @ ₹5.3, 201–300 @ ₹7.7, 301–400 @ ₹10.05, 401–above 401 @ ₹13.05 | ₹25/kW load (₹25 flat if ≤ 0U) | ₹0/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 Lakshadweep bill
- Island power relies on diesel — conserve with LED and efficient fans; the ₹3.55 first slab is the cheapest power available.
- Crossing 200 units lifts the marginal rate to ₹7.70 — the AC is usually the culprit.
- AC in the humid tropics: 26°C with a fan saves the most units.
- Solar mini-grids are expanding; a small plant trims the fuel-based top slabs directly.
