About KPDCL tariff structure

Kashmir 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 KPDCL bill includes a fixed charge of a load-band based amount on your sanctioned load, an FAC pass-through of ₹0.00/unit (revised monthly), and Jammu & Kashmir electricity duty of 0%.

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

KPDCL per-unit rate — common questions

Answers to the most common electricity bill questions in India.

What is the per unit electricity rate of KPDCL in 2026?
KPDCL domestic energy charges start at ₹1.65/unit for the first 100 units and rise to ₹5.80/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 KPDCL bill?
1 unit (1 kWh) is billed at the slab rate that applies to your monthly consumption — starting at ₹1.65/unit. The effective rate on your bill is higher because of fixed charges (₹—/kW), FAC, and electricity duty (0%). At a 100-unit monthly consumption, the all-in rate is roughly ₹2.05/unit.
What is the commercial per-unit rate for KPDCL?
KPDCL commercial (LT) energy charges start at ₹4.50/unit and go up to ₹6.70/unit. Commercial fixed charges are ₹55/kW/month — typically higher than domestic. Industrial (LT) is usually a flat ₹5.25/unit.
What is the FAC and electricity duty for KPDCL?
KPDCL currently passes through ₹0.00/unit as Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC / FPPCA — varies monthly). Jammu & Kashmir electricity duty is 0% on the energy + fixed + FAC base. These add to your effective per-unit cost beyond the headline slab rate.
How often does KPDCL 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 KPDCL rates are effective from 2025-04-01. FAC is revised more frequently (often monthly) to reflect fuel cost movements.
