Andhra Pradesh homes pay ₹1.90 a unit for the first 30 units, then ₹3.00, ₹4.50, ₹6.00, ₹8.75 and ₹9.75 a unit as use goes up, plus a fixed charge of ₹10 per kW of load. These rates (APERC tariff order of 25 March 2026) apply from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with no hike over last year. A home using 100 units with 1 kW load pays about ₹320; at 250 units the bill jumps to about ₹1,261.

| Units in the month | Rate per unit | Cost of this block |
|---|---|---|
| 0–30 | ₹1.90 | ₹57 |

Billing is telescopic: every home gets the cheap rate for its first 30 units, the next rate for units 31–75, and so on, whatever the total. Fixed charge: ₹10 per kW (or part of a kW) of contracted load a month; above 75 kW it is ₹75 per kW for the extra load. The same tariff applies in APSPDCL, APEPDCL and APCPDCL areas. Gated communities and townships with a single HT supply pay ₹7.00 per kVAh instead.
Bill at different usage (1 kW load)
| Units | Energy charges | Fixed | Duty (6 paise)* | Approx. bill | Per unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | ₹117 | ₹10 | ₹3 | ₹130 | ₹2.60 |
| 100 | ₹304 | ₹10 | ₹6 | ₹320 | ₹3.21 |

| 500 | ₹3,523 | ₹10 | ₹30 | ₹3,563 | ₹7.13 |
Going from 200 to 250 units adds ₹372 to the bill, because units above 225 cost ₹8.75. Running an AC for a few hours a day in summer is usually what pushes a home past 225 or 400 units; see our cooler and fridge consumption calculators.
What else can appear on the bill
- Electricity duty: a state levy under the AP Electricity Duty Act, 1939, charged per unit; 6 paise a unit is the long-standing rate*, and a 2026 amendment lets the state notify 6 to 100 paise for different categories*. Use the rate printed on your bill in the tool.
- FPPCA / true-up: fuel and power purchase cost adjustment and true-up charges are billed separately per unit when ordered by APERC. For 2026-27 the state government is bearing the revenue gap, and the true-up for 2024-25 is not being charged*. If your bill shows an FPPCA line, enter its paise per unit in the tool.
- Delayed payment surcharge: ₹25 a month if paid after the due date (15 days from the bill date). Supply can be disconnected 15 days after the due date; reconnection costs ₹100 (₹300 for an underground cable service).
- Meter testing at your request: ₹200 for a single-phase meter, ₹500 for three-phase; if the meter is found faulty, ask for the bill to be revised.

Bill too high? Check these first
- Billing days: if the reading was taken after 35-40 days instead of 30, more units land in the higher slabs. Ask the section office for a pro-rata correction.
- Load: if your sanctioned load is lower than what you actually use, the discom can levy additional load charges; regularise it (application fee ₹50 for domestic).
- Wrong category: a shop run from home on the domestic meter can be billed entirely at commercial rates (₹5.40 to ₹9.95 a unit plus ₹75 per kW fixed); take a separate commercial connection.
- Read the meter yourself on the billing date and compare. For other steps, see what to do when the electricity bill is too high (Hindi).
