KESCO scored 42.52 and ranks 40 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.
KESCO applies the same state-wide 2026-27 tariff schedule as the other Uttar Pradesh DISCOMs (set by the state regulator). What differs by company is the service area, billing portal and contact details below.

Electricity duty
A statutory government levy. Depending on the state, it may apply on energy charges, fixed charges, or selected bill components.

Arrears
Unpaid balance, corrections, security-deposit adjustments or previous-cycle amounts carried into the current bill.

Late Payment Surcharge on overdue amounts. Check the due date and pay through the official DISCOM channel to avoid it.
