How APSPDCL is rated

B Integrated Rating · FY 2024-25

APSPDCL scored 54.24 and ranks 27 of 54 state and private distribution utilities — up a grade from the 13th report.

The rating scores the utility’s financial and operational performance — AT&C losses, billing and collection efficiency, the gap between what supply costs and what it earns, and the regulatory support the utility gets. It is not a measure of supply reliability or customer service, and it does not affect your tariff.

Current APSPDCL tariff (2026-27)

APSPDCL applies the same state-wide 2026-27 tariff schedule as the other Andhra Pradesh DISCOMs (set by the state regulator). What differs by company is the service area, billing portal and contact details below.

LT-I (Domestic)

Supply typeEnergy chargeFixed chargeDuty & other
LT-I (Domestic)
  • 0 – 30 units₹1.90/unit
  • 30 – 75 units₹3.00/unit
  • 75 – 125 units₹4.50/unit
  • 125 – 225 units₹6.00/unit
  • 225 – 400 units₹8.75/unit
  • Above 400 units₹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.

LT-II (Commercial & Others)

Supply typeEnergy chargeFixed chargeDuty & other
II-A(i) — Commercial
  • 0 – 50 units₹5.40/unit
  • 50 – 100 units₹7.65/unit
  • 100 – 300 units₹9.05/unit
  • 300 – 500 units₹9.60/unit
  • Above 500 units₹10.15/unit
₹75/kW/mo
II-A(ii) — Advertising hoardings
  • Above 0 units₹12.25/unit

  • Above 0 units₹12.25/unit
₹0/mo
II-C — Electric vehicle charging stations
  • Above 0 units₹6.70/unit
₹0/mo

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.

LT-V (Agricultural / Irrigation Pump Sets)

Supply typeEnergy chargeFixed chargeDuty & other
LT-V (Agricultural / Irrigation Pump Sets)
  • Above 0 units₹0.00/unit
₹0/mo

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.

Understanding your APSPDCL bill

Energy charge

The slab-wise price of the units consumed during the billing period. In telescopic slabs, each band is billed at its own rate.

Fixed charge

A monthly charge linked to sanctioned load, connected load, billing demand or consumer category. It applies even when usage is low.

Electricity duty

A statutory government levy. Depending on the state, it may apply on energy charges, fixed charges, or selected bill components.

FPPA (Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment)

Fuel and power-purchase adjustment. It changes more often than the base tariff and may appear as a charge or a credit.

Arrears

Unpaid balance, corrections, security-deposit adjustments or previous-cycle amounts carried into the current bill.

LPSC

Late Payment Surcharge on overdue amounts. Check the due date and pay through the official DISCOM channel to avoid it.
