Uttarakhand's FY 2026-27 tariff — subsidy not renewed
UPCL bills the UERC FY 2026-27 ladder of ₹3.65 (0–100), ₹5.25 (101–200), ₹7.15 (201–400) and ₹7.80 (401+) per unit with a ₹75/kW monthly fixed charge. The 50% bill subsidy that applied to small connections in earlier years was not renewed for FY 2026-27 (UERC order 30-Mar-2026), so every unit bills at the full rate.
Uttarakhand bill — quick answers
Is UPCL really this cheap?
Yes — hydel-heavy generation keeps UPCL among India's lowest domestic tariffs, running ₹3.65 (0–100), ₹5.25 (101–200), ₹7.15 (201–400) and ₹7.80 (401+) per unit with a ₹75/kW fixed charge.
Does the 50% subsidy still apply?
No — the UERC FY 2026-27 order (30-Mar-2026) did not renew the 50% bill subsidy, so bills run at the full tariff this year. The toggle stays off unless your circle restores a scheme.
Does the tariff differ in hill districts?
No — UPCL applies one domestic schedule state-wide. Only the FAC can drift between circles.

Uttarakhand electricity bill calculator — how your bijli bill is built
UPCL serves all of Uttarakhand with a domestic tariff of ₹3.65 (0–100), ₹5.25 (101–200), ₹7.15 (201–400) and ₹7.80 (401+) per unit, a ₹75/kW fixed charge and ₹0.12/unit FAC.
Dehradun, Haridwar and the hills all bill the same UERC ladder — with the ₹3.65 opening slab still among the cheapest in north India.
Example: your Uttarakhand bill for 250 units
Take a Uttarakhand household using 250 units in one month on UPCL. The telescopic energy charge is 100 × ₹3.65 + 100 × ₹5.25 + 50 × ₹7.15 = ₹1247.50. Add the fixed charge (₹150.00), FAC (₹30.00) — that gives a gross bill of ₹1427.50. With no subsidy in this state, ₹1427.50 is your payable.
Here is the same 250 units across every DISCOM in Uttarakhand — useful when your board's name differs from the common one:
| DISCOM | Energy | Fixed | FAC | Duty | Subsidy | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UPCL | ₹1247.50 | ₹150.00 | ₹30.00 | ₹0.00 | — | ₹1427.50 |
Uttarakhand subsidy / free-unit scheme
Uttarakhand's earlier 50% bill subsidy was not renewed in the FY 2026-27 tariff order (UERC, 30 March 2026) — households previously on it now bill the full tariff, so the calculator applies no automatic discount. The relief in the current tariff is simply the low opening slab.
Uttarakhand 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| UPCL | 1–100 @ ₹3.65, 101–200 @ ₹5.25, 201–400 @ ₹7.15, 401–above 401 @ ₹7.8 | ₹75/kW load (₹75 flat if ≤ 0U) | ₹0.12/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 Uttarakhand bill
- The first 100 units at ₹3.65 keep hill households' bills very low — preserve them with LED lighting.
- Electric heating in winters is the main cost driver; a room heater used in short bursts costs less than a full-night geyser.
- Solar suits the high-altitude sun in south-facing valleys; check the solar tool for a 2–3 kW plant.
- Time the water pump to off-peak hours to smooth the load profile.
