Nagaland electricity bill calculator — how your bijli bill is built
The Department of Power, Nagaland bills on the NERC tariff of ₹5.90 (0–30), ₹6.40 (31–100), ₹7.15 (101–250) and ₹7.80 (251+) per unit with a ₹60/kW monthly fixed charge and 5% electricity duty — the FY 2025-26 schedule (petition of December 2024) carried a ~5% increase.
Kohima and Dimapur share one tariff; the FY 2026-27 ARR & tariff petition (02/2026-27, effective 1 Oct 2026–31 Mar 2027) proposes domestic rates of ₹6.10 rising to ₹8.30 per unit, but the final order is not yet issued so the FY 2025-26 schedule continues.
Example: your Nagaland bill for 250 units
Take a Nagaland household using 250 units in one month on DoP Nagaland. The telescopic energy charge is 30 × ₹5.9 + 70 × ₹6.4 + 150 × ₹7.15 = ₹1697.50. Add the fixed charge (₹120.00), FAC (₹0.00) and electricity duty (₹90.88) — that gives a gross bill of ₹1908.38. With no subsidy in this state, ₹1908.38 is your payable.
Here is the same 250 units across every DISCOM in Nagaland — useful when your board's name differs from the common one:
| DISCOM | Energy | Fixed | FAC | Duty | Subsidy | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DoP Nagaland | ₹1697.50 | ₹120.00 | ₹0.00 | ₹90.88 | — | ₹1908.38 |
Does Nagaland offer a free-unit scheme?
Nagaland 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DoP Nagaland | 1–30 @ ₹5.9, 31–100 @ ₹6.4, 101–250 @ ₹7.15, 251–above 251 @ ₹7.8 | ₹60/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.
