Andhra Pradesh electricity tariff (2026-27)
All 3 DISCOMs in Andhra Pradesh bill on the same schedule, set by the
state regulator — so the rates below apply whichever company serves you.
LT-I (Domestic)
Supply type
Energy charge
Fixed charge
Duty & other
LT-I (Domestic)
0 – 30units₹1.90/unit
30 – 75units₹3.00/unit
75 – 125units₹4.50/unit
125 – 225units₹6.00/unit
225 – 400units₹8.75/unit
Above 400units₹9.75/unit
₹10/kW/mo
Electricity Duty₹0.06/unit
ℹ️ Andhra Pradesh domestic supply is telescopic — the order labels the category "Domestic (Telescopic)" — so 200 units bills 30 at ₹1.90, 45 at ₹3.00, 50 at ₹4.50 and 75 at ₹6.00, not all 200 at the top rate. The fixed charge is a flat ₹10/kW/month whatever the slab. The step from ₹6.00 to ₹8.75 at 226 units is the sharpest in the schedule, so a household sitting just under 225 units pays heavily for the next unit. APERC's schedule is the tariff alone; electricity duty and any other State levies are notified separately and are charged on your bill in addition to the figures here.

Who each rate applies to
II-A(i) — Commercial
Shops, offices and general commercial supply. Fixed charge ₹75/kW/month, billed on kWh (or kVAh where a kVAh meter is installed).
II-A(ii) — Advertising hoardings
A single rate on all units, on a heavier ₹100/kW/month fixed charge.
II-A(iii) — Function halls / auditoriums
Flat ₹12.25/unit on all units, with no fixed charge at LT.
II-C — Electric vehicle charging stations
Flat ₹6.70/unit with no fixed charge — the cheapest rate in the commercial schedule, and well under the ₹9–10 a shop pays at the same consumption.
ℹ️ The commercial ladder is telescopic across five slabs from ₹5.40 to ₹10.15, on a ₹75/kW/month fixed charge. APERC sets separate rates for advertising hoardings, function halls, startup power, green power and EV charging; the ones modelled here are selectable above. Commercial supply is billed on kVAh wherever a kVAh meter is installed, so a poor power factor raises the units you are charged for. APERC's schedule is the tariff alone; electricity duty and any other State levies are notified separately and are charged on your bill in addition to the figures here.

ℹ️ Free supply to agricultural consumers under the Government of Andhra Pradesh scheme; the DISCOM is reimbursed by subsidy. Supply hours are limited, so a pump set connection is not metered-and-billed the way a domestic one is.
Common Andhra Pradesh bill calculations
Typical domestic examples for a 2 kW LT-I (Domestic) connection, computed with the same engine as the calculator. Use them as a quick sanity check; your actual bill changes with sub-category, arrears, FPPA, duty and billing-period length.
Complain in this order and keep the complaint number at every step. Skipping a step is the commonest reason a genuine billing complaint is returned unheard.
The CGRF order, or proof the forum missed its deadline
Two deadlines worth knowing. Under the central Electricity Rights of Consumers Rules a grievance should normally be decided within 30 days and in any case within 45. And if the paper you received is an assessment under Section 126 for unauthorised use rather than an ordinary bill, it does not go to the CGRF at all — it is appealed to the Appellate Authority under Section 127, usually within 30 days.
How is the electricity bill calculated in Andhra Pradesh?
