About GESCOM tariff structure

Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company 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 GESCOM bill includes a fixed charge of ₹100/kW/month on your sanctioned load, an FAC pass-through of ₹0.24/unit (revised monthly), and Karnataka electricity duty of 9%.

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

GESCOM per-unit rate — common questions

Answers to the most common electricity bill questions in India.

What is the per unit electricity rate of GESCOM in 2026?
GESCOM domestic energy charges start at ₹4.15/unit for the first 50 units and rise to ₹8.20/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 GESCOM bill?
1 unit (1 kWh) is billed at the slab rate that applies to your monthly consumption — starting at ₹4.15/unit. The effective rate on your bill is higher because of fixed charges (₹100/kW), FAC, and electricity duty (9%). At a 100-unit monthly consumption, the all-in rate is roughly ₹7.76/unit.
What is the commercial per-unit rate for GESCOM?
GESCOM commercial (LT) energy charges start at ₹8.50/unit and go up to ₹11.50/unit. Commercial fixed charges are ₹200/kW/month — typically higher than domestic. Industrial (LT) is usually a flat ₹7.40/unit.
What is the FAC and electricity duty for GESCOM?
GESCOM currently passes through ₹0.24/unit as Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC / FPPCA — varies monthly). Karnataka electricity duty is 9% on the energy + fixed + FAC base. These add to your effective per-unit cost beyond the headline slab rate.
How often does GESCOM 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 GESCOM rates are effective from 2025-04-01. FAC is revised more frequently (often monthly) to reflect fuel cost movements.
