About UPCL tariff structure

Uttarakhand Power 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 UPCL bill includes a fixed charge of a load-band based amount on your sanctioned load, an FAC pass-through of ₹0.25/unit (revised monthly), and Uttarakhand electricity duty of 8%.

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

UPCL per-unit rate — common questions

Answers to the most common electricity bill questions in India.

What is the per unit electricity rate of UPCL in 2026?
UPCL domestic energy charges start at ₹3.40/unit for the first 100 units and rise to ₹7.45/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 UPCL bill?
1 unit (1 kWh) is billed at the slab rate that applies to your monthly consumption — starting at ₹3.40/unit. The effective rate on your bill is higher because of fixed charges (₹—/kW), FAC, and electricity duty (8%). At a 100-unit monthly consumption, the all-in rate is roughly ₹4.81/unit.
What is the commercial per-unit rate for UPCL?
UPCL commercial (LT) energy charges start at ₹5.65/unit and go up to ₹8.20/unit. Commercial fixed charges are ₹90/kW/month — typically higher than domestic. Industrial (LT) is usually a flat ₹6.10/unit.
What is the FAC and electricity duty for UPCL?
UPCL currently passes through ₹0.25/unit as Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC / FPPCA — varies monthly). Uttarakhand electricity duty is 8% on the energy + fixed + FAC base. These add to your effective per-unit cost beyond the headline slab rate.
How often does UPCL 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 UPCL rates are effective from 2025-04-01. FAC is revised more frequently (often monthly) to reflect fuel cost movements.
