How Andhra Pradesh (APEPDCL) Bills You

Understanding slabs, billing cycles, subsidies, and non-tariff exclusions

Electricity retail tariffs across Andhra Pradesh are established by the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) and distributed through three state utilities: APEPDCL (Eastern Power), APSPDCL (Southern Power), and APCPDCL (Central Power).

Andhra Pradesh operates on a standard monthly billing cycle. Domestic connections (LT Category-I) are billed using progressive telescopic slabs: 0 to 50 units at ₹1.90/unit; 51 to 100 units at ₹3.00/unit; 101 to 200 units at ₹4.50/unit; 201 to 300 units at ₹6.00/unit; 301 to 400 units at ₹8.75/unit; 401 to 500 units at ₹9.75/unit; and above 500 units at ₹10.75/unit.

In addition to base energy charges, consumers pay a nominal Fixed Charge of ₹10 per kilowatt (kW) of connected load, a 6% Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Duty, and periodic Fuel Surcharge Adjustments (FSA) approved by APERC.

What is NOT included in this standard estimate: This model computes standard domestic tariffs. Official bills may include past unpaid arrears, Delayed Payment Surcharges (DPS), or non-domestic commercial tariff components.
