Meghalaya electricity bill calculator — how your bijli bill is built
MePDCL serves Meghalaya on the MSERC tariff of Case 11/2025 (order 26 March 2026, effective 1 April 2026): ₹5.05 (0–100), ₹5.09 (101–200) and ₹5.15 (201+) per unit — the 5-paise/unit electricity duty is already folded into these effective rates — with a ₹90/kVA monthly fixed charge.
Shillong and the districts share one tariff; hydro-rich Meghalaya keeps rates remarkably flat — barely rising across the whole ladder — and BPL consumers pay ₹4.57/unit up to 30 units.
Example: your Meghalaya bill for 250 units
Take a Meghalaya household using 250 units in one month on MePDCL. The telescopic energy charge is 100 × ₹5.05 + 100 × ₹5.09 + 50 × ₹5.15 = ₹1271.50. Add the fixed charge (₹180.00), FAC (₹0.00) — that gives a gross bill of ₹1451.50. With no subsidy in this state, ₹1451.50 is your payable.
Here is the same 250 units across every DISCOM in Meghalaya — useful when your board's name differs from the common one:
| DISCOM | Energy | Fixed | FAC | Duty | Subsidy | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MePDCL | ₹1271.50 | ₹180.00 | ₹0.00 | ₹0.00 | — | ₹1451.50 |
Does Meghalaya offer a free-unit scheme?
Meghalaya 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MePDCL | 1–100 @ ₹5.05, 101–200 @ ₹5.09, 201–above 201 @ ₹5.15 | ₹90/kW load | ₹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 Meghalaya bill
- The ladder is almost flat (₹5.05–5.15) — there is no slab cliff, so usage level matters little for the rate.
- The ₹90/kVA fixed charge is the notable line: at 2 kVA sanctioned load that is ₹180/month regardless of usage.
- Rainy-season dehumidifiers and heaters move bills; use them in short bursts.
- Solar works in the highlands; at ~₹5/unit a small plant trims the largest slab.
