Get an instant, itemised CPDL (Chandigarh) electricity bill for Chandigarh Union Territory. Below you'll find CPDL (Chandigarh)'s 2026-27 slab rates, fixed charges, an indicative monthly bill and a quick link to pay on the official portal.
The standard household category: five telescopic slabs from ₹2.95 to ₹5.40, on ₹30 per kW (or part thereof) per month.
LTDS-I — connected-load based (lifeline)
A single ₹2.90/unit on a flat ₹30 per connection per month, with no slabs.
LTDS-III — demand based
Marginally above LTDS-II at every slab: ₹3.00 to ₹5.45 on the same ₹30/kW/month.
ℹ️ Chandigarh's domestic tariff is unusually flat: the top slab (₹5.40) is under twice the first (₹2.95), where most states more than treble across the same range, so a heavy user here is treated far more gently than in Goa or Uttar Pradesh. Because JERC fixed the whole FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30 control period in one order, rates step up each year without any fresh order — the same slab reaches ₹5.65 by FY 2029-30. JERC's schedule is the tariff alone. Domestic bills here include Chandigarh's 9 paise/unit electricity duty; other State levies are charged on the bill in addition. The fixed charge is per kW (or kVA) 'or part thereof', so a fractional sanctioned load is rounded up to the next whole unit on a real bill — the calculator does not round.

Who each rate applies to
NDS-I — non-domestic service
Three telescopic bands on kVAh — ₹4.60 up to 100 units, ₹4.80 to 200, ₹5.75 beyond — against ₹120 per kVA per month.
NDS-II — non-domestic service
The same ₹120/kVA fixed charge on slightly different bands: ₹4.65, ₹4.75 and ₹5.80.
ℹ️ Non-domestic supply is billed on kVAh against a ₹120 per kVA monthly charge, so power factor affects the units you are charged for. The energy rates are close to domestic — ₹4.60 against ₹2.95 on the first slab — but the fixed charge is four times higher per unit of load, which is where the real difference sits for a small shop. JERC's schedule is the tariff alone. Domestic bills here include Chandigarh's 9 paise/unit electricity duty; other State levies are charged on the bill in addition. The fixed charge is per kW (or kVA) 'or part thereof', so a fractional sanctioned load is rounded up to the next whole unit on a real bill — the calculator does not round.
