How many units does a recharge buy on DVVNL?

A rough estimate computed from DVVNL's real domestic slab rates (₹2.75–₹6.5/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≈ 30 – 72 units
₹500≈ 76 – 181 units
₹1,000≈ 153 – 363 units
₹2,000≈ 307 – 727 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 →
