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 - Maharashtra Electricity Bill
What are the current electricity tariff slabs in Maharashtra?▾
Maharashtra (MSEDCL) residential tariff: 0-100 units: Rs. 3.46/unit, 101-200 units: Rs. 6.26/unit, 201-300 units: Rs. 9.14/unit, 301-500 units: Rs. 10.86/unit, 500+ units: Rs. 12.00/unit. Fixed charge: Rs. 130/month + Rs. 20 meter rent.
What is a typical monthly electricity bill in Maharashtra?▾
In Maharashtra, a typical household using 250 units/month pays about ₹1,579. A smaller 2BHK using ~150 units costs roughly ₹809, while a larger 3BHK using ~350 units runs about ₹2,579. Over a year, 250 units/month adds up to about ₹18,948. These are estimates before any electricity duty.
How much does it cost to run a 1.5-ton AC in Maharashtra?▾
A 1.5-ton AC run about 6 hours a day draws roughly 270 units a month. At Maharashtra's marginal rate of ₹9.14/unit (the slab most households top out in), that adds about ₹2,468 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 Maharashtra?▾
Apply the slab rates progressively — each rate covers only the units within that band, not all units. Then add the fixed charge of Rs. 130/month + Rs. 20 meter rent, plus electricity duty (usually 5–6%). The calculator above does this automatically for your exact units.
How can I reduce my electricity bill in Maharashtra?▾
The biggest levers in Maharashtra 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 Maharashtra?▾
For higher-consumption homes in Maharashtra, rooftop solar usually pays back in 4–6 years because it offsets units billed at the highest slab rate (₹9.14/unit here). Check your DISCOM's net-metering policy for the current solar export rate. The PM Surya Ghar scheme also offers a central subsidy on residential rooftop solar.
Who is the electricity provider in Maharashtra?▾
Maharashtra electricity is distributed by MSEDCL (Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company). MSEDCL is one of the largest power distribution companies in India
