This calculator estimates your Gujarat residential electricity bill for Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited (PGVCL), Madhya Gujarat Vij (MGVCL), Uttar Gujarat Vij (UGVCL), and Dakshin Gujarat Vij (DGVCL). It implements official Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) telescopic slab rates, applies the current Fuel Price and Power Purchase Adjustment (FPPPA) surcharge, and adds the statutory Gujarat state electricity duty (15% for urban areas and 10% for rural areas).
- 1
Location & Phase: Select your tariff category (RGP Urban or RGP Rural) and supply phase (Single Phase or Three Phase).
- 2
Sanctioned Load: Enter your connected load in kW (used for monthly fixed capacity charges).
- 3
FPPPA Surcharge: Verify the current GUVNL fuel surcharge per unit (defaults to ₹2.90 per unit).
- 4
Units Consumed: Enter your monthly kWh units, or switch to Meter Reading mode to calculate consumption directly from previous and current meter readings.
- 5
View Bill Statement: Review your itemized energy charges, FPPPA cost, fixed charges, electricity duty, and net payable amount.
- The Concept: Gujarat DISCOMs calculate residential bills by combining base telescopic energy slabs with a fuel surcharge (FPPPA) and fixed demand charges, then applying state electricity duty on the total. Urban connections incur higher slab rates and 15% duty, whereas rural connections enjoy lower tariffs and 10% duty.
- The Formula:
- RGP Urban Base Slabs:
- 0 to 50 units: ₹3.05 per unit
- 51 to 100 units: ₹3.50 per unit
- 101 to 250 units: ₹4.15 per unit
- Above 250 units: ₹5.20 per unit
- RGP Rural Base Slabs:
- 0 to 50 units: ₹2.65 per unit
- 51 to 100 units: ₹3.10 per unit
- 101 to 250 units: ₹3.75 per unit
- Above 250 units: ₹4.90 per unit
- FPPPA Surcharge: Total Units × ₹2.90 per unit
- Fixed Capacity Charge (Single Phase Urban): ₹25 for load up to 2 kW; ₹65 for 2 to 4 kW; ₹130 for above 4 kW
- Subtotal = Base Energy Charges + FPPPA Surcharge + Fixed Charges
- State Electricity Duty: 15% of Subtotal (Urban) or 10% of Subtotal (Rural)
- Net Bill Payable = Subtotal + State Electricity Duty
Assume you live in an urban apartment in Rajkot with a 2 kW Single Phase PGVCL connection and consume 240 units in a month:
- 1
Base Energy Charges (Telescopic):
- First 50 units (0 to 50): 50 × ₹3.05 = ₹152.50.
- Next 50 units (51 to 100): 50 × ₹3.50 = ₹175.00.
- Next 140 units (101 to 240): 140 × ₹4.15 = ₹581.00.
- Total Base Energy Charges: ₹152.50 + ₹175.00 + ₹581.00 = ₹908.50.
- 2
Fuel Surcharge (FPPPA): 240 units × ₹2.90 = ₹696.00.
- 3
Fixed Capacity Charge: 2 kW load (Single Phase) = ₹25.00.
- 4
Subtotal (Taxable Base): ₹908.50 + ₹696.00 + ₹25.00 = ₹1,629.50.
- 5
Electricity Duty (15% Urban): 15% of ₹1,629.50 = ₹244.43.
- 6
Total PGVCL Bill Payable: ₹1,629.50 + ₹244.43 = ₹1,874 (rounded).
