How PGVCL is rated

A+ Integrated Rating · FY 2024-25

PGVCL scored 95.74 and ranks 8 of 54 state and private distribution utilities.

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.

Understanding your PGVCL 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.
