Frequently Asked Questions

Why do electricity tariffs vary across different Indian states?

Electricity in India is regulated at the state level by State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs). Each distribution company (Discom) incurs different power purchase costs, infrastructure expenses, and cross-subsidies, leading to unique multi-tier slab structures and duty rates.

What is Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC / FPPCA) on an electricity bill?

Fuel Adjustment Charge (also known as Fuel and Power Purchase Cost Adjustment - FPPCA) is a variable surcharge levied by Discoms to account for quarterly fluctuations in the cost of coal, gas, and power purchase agreements.

How does progressive slab calculation work for electricity units?

Progressive slab pricing means units are billed at increasing rates as consumption tiers increase. For example, if you consume 250 units, the first 100 units might be billed at ₹5/unit, and the remaining 150 units at ₹8/unit, rather than all 250 units being billed at the higher rate.
