How Puducherry (Puducherry Electricity Department) Bills You

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

Electricity in Puducherry is distributed and billed by Puducherry Electricity Department under regulatory tariff schedules set by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission. Domestic residential consumers fall under the subsidized LT-1 tariff category, which uses a telescopic slab structure.

Under this system, the billing cycle is monthly. Telescopic billing ensures that your total consumption is split across successive brackets: lower units are billed at foundational rates starting at ₹1.95/unit, while higher rates apply only to additional units in subsequent tiers.

Domestic consumers may also benefit from state government subsidy allowances or free unit tiers where enacted.
