Get an instant, itemised HPSEBL electricity bill for Entire Himachal Pradesh. Below you'll find HPSEBL's 2026-27 slab rates, fixed charges, an indicative monthly bill and a quick link to pay on the official portal.
HPSEBL scored 53.69 and ranks 28 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.
₹5.44/unit up to 125 units a month and ₹5.89 beyond, on a flat ₹85/month fixed charge that does not vary with load.
DS — Lifeline consumers
A concessional ₹4.71/unit on a ₹55/month fixed charge, available only up to 60 units a month. Cross 60 and the ordinary domestic tariff applies instead.
DS — Tribal and difficult areas
Ordinary domestic energy rates, but the fixed charge is held at ₹55/month irrespective of consumption.
ℹ️ Himachal's domestic fixed charge is a flat monthly amount — ₹85, or ₹55 for lifeline consumers and for anyone in a tribal or difficult area — and does not scale with sanctioned load, which is unusual. Energy charges are telescopic across just two slabs. The lifeline rate is a cliff rather than a slab: it applies only while consumption stays at or below 60 units in the month, and the ordinary tariff takes over entirely once you cross. Consumers without an NOC from the planning or municipal authority are billed at the highest domestic slab for their whole consumption and lose the GoHP subsidy. Clause B of HPERC's Schedule states the rates are exclusive of electricity duty, so it is billed on top of the tariff; domestic bills here add it at 3% of the energy charge. HPSEBL also applies a prepaid-meter rebate and, for two-part consumers, a Lower Voltage Supply Surcharge — neither is modelled.

Who each rate applies to
CS — Commercial, contract demand up to 20 kVA
Shops, hotels and anything not covered by another schedule: a single ₹6.39/unit on a flat ₹145/month fixed charge.
CS — Commercial, contract demand above 20 kVA
Two-part: no fixed charge, ₹6.30/kVAh energy and a ₹110/kVA/month demand charge. Above 100 kVA the rates become ₹6.20/kVAh and ₹170/kVA.
NDNCS — Non-domestic non-commercial, up to 20 kVA
Offices, institutions and similar non-commercial users: ₹6.37/unit on a flat ₹145/month.
NDNCS — Non-domestic non-commercial, above 20 kVA
Two-part: no fixed charge, ₹6.11/kVAh energy and a ₹140/kVA/month demand charge.
ℹ️ Non-domestic supply splits at 20 kVA of contract demand. At or below it you pay a flat fixed charge and a per-kWh rate; above it the fixed charge drops to nil and is replaced by a per-kVA demand charge, with energy billed on kVAh so power factor starts to matter. HPERC levies the demand charge on the higher of your actual 30-minute maximum demand or 85% of contract demand. Hoardings and billboards installed separately from the premises pay 10% more on energy. Clause B of HPERC's Schedule states the rates are exclusive of electricity duty, so it is billed on top of the tariff; domestic bills here add it at 3% of the energy charge. HPSEBL also applies a prepaid-meter rebate and, for two-part consumers, a Lower Voltage Supply Surcharge — neither is modelled.

the bill into energy charge, fixed or demand charge, FPPA, duty,

limit — pick the one your connection actually falls under, because the rates differ
sharply between them. For commercial supply, time-of-day, solar export or arrears, the
full calculator carries every field.
HPSEBL FPPA — latest verified rate and trend
Latest verified HPSEBL FPPA (Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment)
Typical domestic examples for a 2 kW DS (Domestic Supply) 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.
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.
