Mangalore Electricity Supply Company Ltd.
Service area: Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Shivamogga, Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru
MESCOM scored 56.44 and ranks 26 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.
MESCOM applies the same state-wide 2026-27 tariff schedule as the other Karnataka DISCOMs (set by the state regulator). What differs by company is the service area, billing portal and contact details below.

ℹ️ KERC merged the old domestic slabs into a single flat rate — every unit costs the same. Karnataka bills Electricity Tax as a separate line: Annexure-9 clause 16 of the Tariff Order 2025 sets a payment priority that distinguishes 'Arrears of Electricity Tax' from 'Arrears of Electricity charges', so the tariff is not tax-inclusive. The rate is set by the Karnataka Electricity (Taxation on Consumption) Act rather than by KERC, so it is not in the order; CEA records 9% on the energy charge. BESCOM bills also carry a separate 'FY25 True up Charges' line from May 2026 to Apr 2027, calculated from your FY2024-25 consumption and spread over 12 instalments; it is not a per-unit charge on this bill, so it is not included here. Gruha Jyoti (200 free units/month) applies via the Government Subsidy option.

Estimate your MESCOM bill
Enter your units and sanctioned load for an itemised MESCOM estimate. The result breaks
the bill into energy charge, fixed or demand charge, FPPA, duty,
and late-payment surcharge where applicable.
Domestic supply. The bracket in each option is the eligibility
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.
MESCOM FPPA — latest verified rate and trend
Latest verified MESCOM FPPA (Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment)
Typical domestic examples for a 2 kW LT-1 (Domestic / Residential) 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.
