About APCPDCL tariff structure

AP Central Power Distribution Corporation Ltd. bills domestic consumers using a telescopic slab structure. Each slab applies only to the units within that range, so adding a few more units never reprices your earlier (cheaper) units.

Beyond energy charges, the APCPDCL bill includes a fixed charge of ₹10/kW/month on your sanctioned load, an FAC pass-through of ₹0.00/unit (revised monthly), and Andhra Pradesh electricity duty of 6%.

We verify APCPDCL rates against the latest SERC tariff order quarterly. Last verified: 2026-04-22. Original source: official tariff order.

APCPDCL per-unit rate — common questions

Answers to the most common electricity bill questions in India.

What is the per unit electricity rate of APCPDCL in 2026?
APCPDCL domestic energy charges start at ₹1.90/unit for the first 30 units and rise to ₹9.75/unit at the highest slab. Slabs are telescopic — only units within each slab are billed at that rate. See the full slab table on this page. Effective 2025-04-01.
How much will 1 unit of electricity cost on my APCPDCL bill?
1 unit (1 kWh) is billed at the slab rate that applies to your monthly consumption — starting at ₹1.90/unit. The effective rate on your bill is higher because of fixed charges (₹10/kW), FAC, and electricity duty (6%). At a 100-unit monthly consumption, the all-in rate is roughly ₹3.44/unit.
What is the commercial per-unit rate for APCPDCL?
APCPDCL commercial (LT) energy charges start at ₹9.60/unit and go up to ₹9.60/unit. Commercial fixed charges are ₹90/kW/month — typically higher than domestic. Industrial (LT) is usually a flat ₹7.80/unit.
What is the FAC and electricity duty for APCPDCL?
APCPDCL currently passes through ₹0.00/unit as Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC / FPPCA — varies monthly). Andhra Pradesh electricity duty is 6% on the energy + fixed + FAC base. These add to your effective per-unit cost beyond the headline slab rate.
How often does APCPDCL change its per-unit rates?
Slab rates are revised through the annual SERC tariff order — typically effective from 1 April each financial year. The current APCPDCL rates are effective from 2025-04-01. FAC is revised more frequently (often monthly) to reflect fuel cost movements.
