Understanding Electricity Tariffs in Karnataka

Electricity distribution in Karnataka is regulated by the state regulatory commission under primary DISCOM operations of BESCOM / MESCOM / CESC / HESCOM / GESCOM. Domestic tariffs are structured into progressive consumption slabs to incentivize energy conservation while keeping baseline power accessible.

Bills in Karnataka comprise energy charges calculated according to consumption slabs, fixed monthly charges based on sanctioned load (₹120/kW), regulatory electricity duties, and FPPCA fuel adjustment charges.

Lowest & Peak Rates

Initial slab starts at ₹5.90/unit. Peak consumption rate reaches ₹5.90/unit.

Subsidy Policy

Karnataka grants up to 200 free units for eligible domestic connections.

Tips to Lower Your Karnataka Electricity Bill

  • Monitor Slab Thresholds: Track your meter reading to avoid stepping into higher rate tiers towards the end of the billing cycle.
  • Optimize Air Conditioner Usage: Set AC temperature at 24°C–26°C. In Karnataka, running an AC 8 hrs daily adds ~100 units/month.
  • Consider Rooftop Solar: BESCOM / MESCOM / CESC / HESCOM / GESCOM supports grid-connected net metering with government subsidies under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
