Calculate your estimated Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Limited electricity bill for FY 2026-27.

DGVCL Bill Calculator 2026-27

The DGVCL Bill Calculator 2026-27 is a simple online tool designed to help electricity consumers estimate their monthly Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Limited electricity bill. DGVCL is one of Gujarat’s state-owned electricity distribution companies and serves consumers across southern Gujarat. The calculator uses the FY 2026-27 tariff structure applicable from 1 April 2026 to provide an estimated electricity bill based on monthly consumption, connection category and connected load.

The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission, or GERC, determines the tariff framework applicable to DGVCL. For FY 2026-27, the tariff order for DGVCL is Case No. 2581/2025 dated 25 March 2026. The tariff schedule applies from 1 April 2026. Consumers can therefore use the calculator to understand the energy charge applicable to their electricity consumption under the current financial year’s tariff structure.

Residential consumers are generally billed under the Residential General Purpose category, commonly known as RGP. The residential tariff uses a telescopic slab structure. Under a telescopic tariff, different portions of electricity consumption are charged at different rates. Therefore, if a household consumes more than 250 units, all units are not necessarily charged at the highest rate. The calculator automatically divides the consumption among the applicable slabs.

For urban residential consumers, the first 50 units are charged at ₹3.05 per unit. Consumption from 51 to 100 units is charged at ₹3.50 per unit. The next block, from 101 to 250 units, is charged at ₹4.15 per unit, while consumption above 250 units is charged at ₹5.20 per unit. These slab rates make it useful for households to monitor their monthly consumption and understand how additional electricity usage can increase their average bill.

Rural residential consumers have a separate RGP Rural tariff. The first 50 units are charged at ₹2.65 per unit, followed by ₹3.10 per unit for consumption from 51 to 100 units. Units between 101 and 250 are charged at ₹3.75 per unit, while consumption above 250 units is charged at ₹4.90 per unit. Consumers should select the correct urban or rural category when using the DGVCL electricity bill calculator.

Eligible Below Poverty Line consumers have a separate concessional tariff. The first 50 units are charged at ₹1.50 per unit, after which the applicable rural residential rates are used for additional consumption. The BPL category also has a lower fixed charge. Only consumers who meet the applicable eligibility requirements should select the BPL option while estimating their electricity bill.

Fixed charges are another component of the DGVCL electricity bill. These charges are related to the sanctioned or connected load rather than simply the number of units consumed. Residential fixed charges under the FY 2026-27 tariff structure are ₹15 up to 2 kW, ₹25 above 2 kW up to 4 kW, ₹45 above 4 kW up to 6 kW and ₹70 above 6 kW. Eligible BPL consumers have a ₹5 monthly fixed charge.

Commercial consumers are billed under the applicable Non-RGP tariff instead of the residential RGP slab structure. The calculator provides commercial options for loads up to 10 kW and for higher LT loads. For the simplified estimate, the energy rate is ₹4.35 per unit for the up-to-10-kW category and ₹4.65 per unit for the applicable category above 10 kW. The exact bill for a business can vary depending on its sanctioned category, load, demand and other applicable tariff provisions.

FPPAS, or Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge, is an important variable component of an electricity bill. It is separate from the basic energy tariff and is associated with adjustments in power procurement costs. Because the amount applicable to a particular billing period can differ, this calculator provides an editable FPPAS field. Consumers can replace the default value with the applicable amount displayed on their latest DGVCL bill for a more realistic estimate.

Rooftop solar is becoming increasingly important for electricity consumers in Gujarat. DGVCL consumers with eligible rooftop solar installations can use the applicable net-metering framework to exchange electricity with the distribution grid. When solar generation exceeds immediate household consumption, surplus electricity can be exported to the grid. When generation is insufficient, electricity can be imported from the grid.

The rooftop solar option in this calculator allows users to enter electricity imported from the grid and electricity exported to the grid. It then calculates estimated net units by subtracting exported units from imported units. This provides a convenient way to understand the potential effect of solar generation on consumption-based charges. Actual settlement, however, depends on the applicable DGVCL and GERC regulations and the consumer’s approved net-metering arrangement.

Electricity duty and other statutory charges can also affect the final amount payable. The base tariff published by GERC is exclusive of electricity duty, taxes and other government charges. The calculator therefore presents these components separately so that users can understand the major elements that contribute to their estimated DGVCL bill.

A household can use this DGVCL Bill Calculator to compare different monthly consumption levels. For example, entering 100 units, 200 units, 250 units, 300 units or 500 units makes it easier to see how the telescopic tariff structure affects the energy charge. This can be particularly useful during summer when air conditioners, coolers, refrigerators, pumps and other appliances can increase electricity consumption significantly.

Consumers who want to reduce their DGVCL electricity bill should first identify the appliances responsible for the highest consumption. Efficient inverter air conditioners, BLDC fans, LED lighting and energy-efficient refrigerators can help reduce monthly electricity use. Maintaining air conditioners at a reasonable temperature and avoiding unnecessary appliance operation can also help prevent consumption from moving into higher tariff slabs.

It is also useful to compare the meter reading with the reading printed on the electricity bill. If consumption suddenly increases without a clear reason, consumers should check whether the increase is caused by additional appliance usage, a longer billing period, previous arrears, adjustments or another billing component. Keeping a monthly record of electricity consumption makes unusual increases much easier to identify.

The DGVCL Bill Calculator 2026-27 is intended as an independent estimation tool and should not be considered a replacement for an official DGVCL bill. Actual bills may contain additional regulatory charges, arrears, adjustments, subsidies, meter charges, taxes and other applicable items. Consumers should always verify important billing information against the latest DGVCL and GERC notifications and their actual electricity bill.
