Frequently Asked Questions
MGVCL Electricity Bill for 2026-27
The MGVCL Bill Calculator 2026-27 is designed to help consumers estimate their monthly electricity expenses under the latest tariff structure applicable to Madhya Gujarat Vij Company Limited. MGVCL supplies electricity across several important areas of central Gujarat, and understanding the tariff structure can help households and businesses plan their monthly budgets more effectively. The FY 2026-27 tariff framework is applicable from 1 April 2026 and is regulated by the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission.
Residential electricity billing under the RGP category follows a telescopic structure. This means that electricity consumption is divided into different slabs and each slab is charged at its applicable rate. For urban residential consumers, the first 50 units are charged at ₹3.05 per unit, while consumption from 51 to 100 units is charged at ₹3.50 per unit. The next slab, covering 101 to 250 units, is charged at ₹4.15 per unit, while consumption above 250 units is charged at ₹5.20 per unit. The calculator automatically separates consumption into these slabs.
Rural residential consumers have a separate RGP Rural tariff structure. The first 50 units are charged at ₹2.65 per unit, followed by ₹3.10 per unit for the next 50 units. Consumption between 101 and 250 units is charged at ₹3.75 per unit, while consumption above 250 units is charged at ₹4.90 per unit. Selecting the correct urban or rural category is therefore important when estimating an MGVCL electricity bill.
The calculator also provides a BPL option for eligible Below Poverty Line household consumers. The first 50 units under the concessional BPL arrangement are charged at ₹1.50 per unit, while consumption beyond that level is calculated using the applicable rural residential rates. BPL consumers also have a lower fixed charge. Consumers should ensure that they actually qualify for the BPL category before using the concessional option for financial planning.
Fixed charges are another important component of an MGVCL electricity bill. Unlike energy charges, which depend directly on the number of units consumed, fixed charges depend on the sanctioned or connected load. Residential fixed charges increase as the connected load moves into higher load bands. Therefore, two households using the same number of electricity units can have slightly different bills if their sanctioned loads are different.
Commercial consumers are billed under a different tariff structure. The calculator provides separate options for commercial or Non-RGP connections with loads up to 10 kW and above 10 kW. For the simplified LT calculation, the applicable energy rate is ₹4.35 per unit for loads up to 10 kW and ₹4.65 per unit for loads above 10 kW, subject to the applicable tariff conditions. Commercial consumers should always check their exact sanctioned category because larger or specialised installations can fall under different tariff provisions.
FPPAS is another important component that can affect the final amount payable. FPPAS refers to Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge and reflects adjustments associated with the cost of power procurement. The approved base FPPAS for FY 2026-27 is ₹2.52 per unit. However, consumers should not assume that the same figure will necessarily appear unchanged on every monthly bill. The calculator therefore provides an editable FPPAS field so that users can enter the amount applicable to their billing period.
Rooftop solar and net metering can significantly change the amount of electricity purchased from the grid. Consumers with eligible rooftop solar systems may import electricity from the distribution network when their own generation is insufficient and export surplus generation when their solar system produces more electricity than they immediately consume. The calculator includes an optional rooftop solar mode where imported and exported units can be entered separately.
When rooftop solar is enabled, the calculator estimates net billable units by subtracting exported electricity from imported electricity. For example, if a consumer imports 300 units from the grid and exports 100 units during the relevant billing period, the calculator uses 200 units as the estimated net consumption. This is intended as a simple estimation method. Actual net-metering settlement can depend on the applicable GERC regulations, MGVCL procedures, meter readings, billing-cycle rules and the consumer’s approved solar arrangement.
Electricity duty is also considered in the estimated bill. The applicable duty percentage can vary according to the nature of the electricity connection. Residential and commercial consumers should therefore select the correct category before calculating their bill. The calculator adds the estimated duty after calculating the applicable energy charge, fixed charge and FPPAS component.
Consumers can use the MGVCL Bill Calculator 2026-27 to compare different consumption levels and understand how moving into a higher tariff slab affects the monthly electricity cost. For example, households can compare the estimated cost of 100, 150, 250, 300 or 500 units and identify how energy conservation can reduce their electricity expenses. This is particularly useful during the summer months when air conditioners, coolers, refrigerators and other cooling appliances can substantially increase electricity consumption.
Energy-efficient appliances can also help reduce the number of units consumed. LED lighting, energy-efficient refrigerators, inverter air conditioners and BLDC fans generally use less electricity than older, inefficient alternatives. Maintaining air-conditioner temperatures at sensible levels, switching off appliances when they are not required and avoiding unnecessary standby power consumption are simple ways to reduce monthly electricity usage.
Consumers with unusually high electricity bills should compare the current meter reading with the reading printed on the bill. It is also useful to check whether arrears, previous outstanding balances, adjustments or a change in the FPPAS component have contributed to the higher amount. A sudden increase in consumption can also move a household into the higher residential tariff slabs, increasing the average cost per unit.
The MGVCL Bill Calculator is intended for estimation and educational purposes. It should not be treated as a substitute for the official electricity bill issued by MGVCL. Tariffs, surcharges, taxes, subsidies and regulatory provisions can change through official orders or notifications. Consumers should therefore compare important billing decisions with the latest information published by MGVCL and the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission.
