CSPGCL Bill CalculatorChhattisgarh Electricity Bill Calculator 2025

Our CSPGCL calculator uses the latest 2025 tariff rates approved by CSERC (Chhattisgarh State Electricity Regulatory Commission). It includes all components like energy charges, fixed charges, fuel surcharge, and electricity duty. The accuracy is over 99% for standard connections, though actual bills may vary slightly due to meter reading dates, seasonal adjustments, or specific connection conditions.

CSPGCL domestic tariff rates for 2025 are: 0-50 units at ₹3.25/kWh, 51-100 units at ₹4.50/kWh, 101-200 units at ₹5.75/kWh, 201-400 units at ₹6.85/kWh, and above 400 units at ₹7.95/kWh. Fixed charges range from ₹30-200 depending on sanctioned load and phase type. Additional charges include fuel surcharge of ₹0.75/unit and 5% electricity duty.

Fuel surcharge in CSPGCL bills is calculated per unit consumed. For domestic connections, it's ₹0.75/kWh, for commercial ₹1.25/kWh, for industrial ₹1.45/kWh, and for agricultural ₹0.50/kWh. This surcharge is subject to quarterly revision based on fuel costs and is applied to the total units consumed during the billing period.

Single phase CSPGCL connections are typically for loads up to 5 kW and have lower fixed charges. Three phase connections are for higher loads (above 5 kW) and have double the fixed charges. For example, domestic single phase fixed charge is ₹30-100 while three phase is ₹60-200. Three phase connections provide more stable power for heavy appliances and motors.

You can reduce your CSPGCL bill by: 1) Using energy-efficient appliances (LED bulbs, 5-star rated ACs), 2) Installing solar water heaters, 3) Optimizing AC usage (24°C setting), 4) Unplugging standby devices, 5) Using power factor correction for industrial connections, 6) Paying bills on time for rebates (2% for domestic ≤100 units), and 7) Installing rooftop solar with net metering.

Yes, CSPGCL offers net metering for rooftop solar installations in Chhattisgarh. The net metering policy allows you to feed excess solar power to the grid and get credit on your electricity bill. The policy supports installations up to 1 MW for residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. You need to apply through CSPGCL with necessary documentation and technical approvals.

CSPGCL charges a late payment penalty of 2% per month on the outstanding amount after the due date. This penalty is calculated on the total bill amount and compounds monthly. To avoid penalties, pay your bill before the due date. Domestic consumers with consumption ≤100 units get a 2% rebate for prompt payment within the due date.

For analog meters, read digits from left to right, noting the position of each dial pointer. For digital meters, record the numbers displayed on the screen. Calculate consumption by subtracting the previous reading from the current reading. For three-phase meters, read all three phases and sum them. Smart meters may have multiple displays - scroll through them to record all readings including peak/off-peak if applicable.

Agricultural connections in Chhattisgarh receive substantial subsidies. The tariff rate is heavily subsidized at ₹2.50/kWh with the government providing approximately 60% subsidy. Fixed charges are also lower at ₹50-100. Additional benefits include priority connection, dedicated agricultural feeders, and special schemes for solar pump installations. Farmers need valid agricultural documents to avail these subsidized rates.
