Frequently asked questions

What is a DISCOM?

DISCOM stands for Distribution Company — the utility that delivers electricity to your premises and issues your bill. Tariffs are set not by the DISCOM but by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC), which is why rates differ state to state.

Which state has the cheapest domestic electricity in India?

In our tariff data the lowest domestic slab rate starts at ₹1.4/unit in Jammu & Kashmir, while the highest slab rates reach ₹7.42/unit in states like Bihar. Real bills also depend on fixed charges, FPPA and duty — compare with the calculator.

How do I find out which DISCOM serves my area?

Check the top of your electricity bill — the company name and logo are printed there. Or open your state in the directory above: each DISCOM entry lists its service region and cities.

Do different DISCOMs in the same state charge different rates?

Sometimes. In many states (like Uttar Pradesh) the regulator applies one state-wide schedule to every DISCOM; in others (Delhi, Maharashtra, Odisha) each company has its own approved rates. Each DISCOM page on this site states clearly whether its schedule is shared.
