Tips to reduce your bill
- - Switch to 5-star BEE-rated appliances - they use 30-50% less electricity
- - Use LED bulbs (7W LED = 60W incandescent in brightness)
- - Set AC to 24-26 degrees C - each degree below 24 increases consumption ~6%
- - Avoid peak hours (6-10 PM) if your DISCOM has time-of-use tariffs
- - A 1kW solar rooftop panel generates ~100-120 units/month in India
Rates are approximate and may vary by consumer category, load sanctioned, and recent tariff orders. Check your DISCOM website or latest electricity bill for exact rates. Electricity duty and other levies vary by state.

FAQs - Gujarat Electricity Bill
What are the current electricity tariff slabs in Gujarat?▾

What is a typical monthly electricity bill in Gujarat?▾
In Gujarat, a typical household using 250 units/month pays about ₹875. A smaller 2BHK using ~150 units costs roughly ₹510, while a larger 3BHK using ~350 units runs about ₹1,275. Over a year, 250 units/month adds up to about ₹10,500. These are estimates before any electricity duty.
How much does it cost to run a 1.5-ton AC in Gujarat?▾
A 1.5-ton AC run about 6 hours a day draws roughly 270 units a month. At Gujarat's marginal rate of ₹4/unit (the slab most households top out in), that adds about ₹1,080 to your monthly bill. Using a 5-star inverter AC and setting it to 26°C can cut this by 20–30%.
How do I calculate my electricity bill in Gujarat?▾
Apply the slab rates progressively — each rate covers only the units within that band, not all units. Then add the fixed charge of Rs. 90/month, plus electricity duty (usually 5–6%). The calculator above does this automatically for your exact units.
How can I reduce my electricity bill in Gujarat?▾
The biggest levers in Gujarat are cooling and water heating. Move to 5-star inverter appliances, set the AC to 26°C, use a timer on the geyser, and switch to LED lighting. Keeping monthly usage under the next slab threshold avoids the steep higher-slab rates.
Is rooftop solar worth it in Gujarat?▾
For higher-consumption homes in Gujarat, rooftop solar usually pays back in 4–6 years because it offsets units billed at the highest slab rate (₹4/unit here). Gujarat is a solar leader - has the Rann of Kutch solar park and extensive rooftop solar. The PM Surya Ghar scheme also offers a central subsidy on residential rooftop solar.
