About DGVCL tariff structure

Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company 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 DGVCL bill includes a fixed charge of ₹25/kW/month on your sanctioned load, an FAC pass-through of ₹2.35/unit (revised monthly), and Gujarat electricity duty of 15%.

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

DGVCL per-unit rate — common questions

Answers to the most common electricity bill questions in India.

What is the per unit electricity rate of DGVCL in 2026?
DGVCL domestic energy charges start at ₹3.05/unit for the first 50 units and rise to ₹5.20/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 DGVCL bill?
1 unit (1 kWh) is billed at the slab rate that applies to your monthly consumption — starting at ₹3.05/unit. The effective rate on your bill is higher because of fixed charges (₹25/kW), FAC, and electricity duty (15%). At a 100-unit monthly consumption, the all-in rate is roughly ₹7.04/unit.
What is the commercial per-unit rate for DGVCL?
DGVCL commercial (LT) energy charges start at ₹4.65/unit and go up to ₹4.65/unit. Commercial fixed charges are ₹70/kW/month — typically higher than domestic. Industrial (LT) is usually a flat ₹5.00/unit.
What is the FAC and electricity duty for DGVCL?
DGVCL currently passes through ₹2.35/unit as Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC / FPPCA — varies monthly). Gujarat electricity duty is 15% on the energy + fixed + FAC base. These add to your effective per-unit cost beyond the headline slab rate.
How often does DGVCL 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 DGVCL rates are effective from 2025-04-01. FAC is revised more frequently (often monthly) to reflect fuel cost movements.
