How many units does a recharge buy on TSNPDCL?

A rough estimate computed from TSNPDCL's real domestic slab rates (₹1.45–₹8.5/unit). Remember — your prepaid balance doesn't only pay energy charges: fixed charges, FPPA and electricity duty are deducted daily too, so actual units will be somewhat lower.

Recharge amountApprox. units
₹200≈ 23 – 137 units
₹500≈ 58 – 344 units
₹1,000≈ 117 – 689 units

What happens when the balance runs low or out?

You get low-balance alerts (SMS/app notification) from the meter. If the balance goes negative, supply can be disconnected automatically — though most DISCOMs do not disconnect at night, on Sundays or on holidays (rules vary by DISCOM). Once you recharge, supply is normally restored automatically with no separate reconnection fee. Full details in our guide: prepaid smart meter disconnection rules →
