Telangana electricity bill calculator — how your bijli bill is built
Telangana's two utilities — TGSPDCL (south, Hyderabad) and TGNPDCL (north) — bill on slabs of ₹1.95 (0–100), ₹3.40 (101–200), ₹7.70 (201–300) and ₹9.00 (301+) per unit with a ₹10/kW fixed charge, 6% duty and ₹0.20/unit FAC.
Hyderabad to Nizamabad shares one TGERC ladder, and the Gruha Jyothi scheme makes the state one of the most generous in India for eligible households.
Example: your Telangana bill for 250 units
Take a Telangana household using 250 units in one month on TGSPDCL (South). The telescopic energy charge is 100 × ₹1.95 + 100 × ₹3.4 + 50 × ₹7.7 = ₹920.00. Add the fixed charge (₹20.00), FAC (₹50.00) and electricity duty (₹61.80) — that gives a gross bill of ₹1091.80. With no subsidy in this state, ₹1091.80 is your payable.
Here is the same 250 units across every DISCOM in Telangana — useful when your board's name differs from the common one:
| DISCOM | Energy | Fixed | FAC | Duty | Subsidy | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TGSPDCL (South) | ₹920.00 | ₹20.00 | ₹50.00 | ₹61.80 | — | ₹1091.80 |
| TGNPDCL (North) | ₹920.00 | ₹20.00 | ₹50.00 | ₹61.80 | — | ₹1091.80 |
Telangana subsidy / free-unit scheme
Gruha Jyothi makes the entire bill ₹0 for up to 200 units a month (TSERC order, March 2024) — energy, fixed charge, duty and meter rent all waived, with no cap. Consumption above 200 units is billed in full.
Telangana 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TGSPDCL (South) | 1–100 @ ₹1.95, 101–200 @ ₹3.4, 201–300 @ ₹7.7, 301–above 301 @ ₹9 | ₹10/kW load (₹10 flat if ≤ 0U) | ₹0.2/unit |
| TGNPDCL (North) | 1–100 @ ₹1.95, 101–200 @ ₹3.4, 201–300 @ ₹7.7, 301–above 301 @ ₹9 | ₹10/kW load (₹10 flat if ≤ 0U) | ₹0.2/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 Telangana bill
- The 200-unit free band is generous — keeping usage under it zeroes the whole bill for most flats.
- Hyderabad's summer AC load is real; 26°C + ceiling fan keeps you inside the band.
- The ₹3.40 → ₹7.70 jump at 200 units is steep — know your crossing point.
- Solar in Hyderabad is excellent; a 3-kW plant with net-metering removes the top slab entirely.
