MSEDCL Electricity Bill Calculator (Mahavitaran)

A Mahavitaran home bill has three parts set by MERC: a fixed charge, an energy charge that rises steeply by slab, and a wheeling charge on every unit. Enter your monthly units to see all three for 2026-27, and how far rooftop solar brings the bill down.

Rates in force from 1 April 2026 (FY 2026-27), plus a fixed charge of ₹130 a month on a single-phase connection. Slabs are telescopic, so each band is charged at its own rate.

The Lines on a Mahavitaran Bill

  • Fixed charge: ₹130 a month for single-phase homes, payable even in a month with no use.
  • Energy charge: ₹3.96 a unit for the first 100 units, then ₹10.80, ₹15.03 and ₹17.53 for the higher slabs.
  • Wheeling charge: ₹1.60 for every unit, for use of MSEDCL's low-tension network.
  • FAC and electricity duty: added afterwards. FAC changes month to month with fuel and power-purchase costs.

Example, 300 units: ₹130 fixed + ₹2,556 energy (100 × ₹3.96 + 200 × ₹10.80) + ₹480 wheeling = ₹3,166 before FAC and duty, an average of ₹10.55 a unit.

Why the Top Slab Decides Your Solar Savings

The first 100 units cost ₹5.56 each including wheeling. Every unit after that costs at least ₹12.40, and above 300 units ₹16.63. Rooftop solar removes units from the top of the bill first, so a home using 350 units saves ₹16.63 on each of its last 50 units and ₹12.40 on the 200 below them, far more than the ₹5.56 rate that the cheapest slab suggests.

Monthly unitsBill (fixed + energy + wheeling)Average per unit
100₹686₹6.86
150₹1,306₹8.71
250₹2,546₹10.18
300₹3,166₹10.55
400₹4,829₹12.07

Example, Pune

A Pune home using 350 units a month pays ₹3,997.50: ₹130 fixed, ₹3,307.50 energy and ₹560 wheeling. Pune averages about 4.7 peak sun hours, so a 3 kW system makes about 338 units a month. The bill falls to about ₹197 on the remaining 12 units, mostly the fixed charge, which saves about ₹45,600 a year before FAC and duty. Check the system price after subsidy with the solar subsidy calculator.

Daytime rebate for smart-meter homes

MERC's tariff for this control period also gives residential consumers with time-of-day (smart) meters a rebate on energy used during solar hours, 9 am to 5 pm, with a larger rebate in the October to March half of the year. The calculator does not apply it, so a household on ToD billing that uses most power in the daytime will pay a little less than shown.

How the 2025-26 Tariff Dispute Ended

  1. 28 March 2025: MERC's multi-year tariff order in Case No. 217 of 2024 set MSEDCL's tariffs for FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30, with residential tariffs falling over the period.
  2. 25 June 2025: on MSEDCL's review petition, Case No. 75 of 2025, MERC revised several tariffs.
  3. November 2025: the Bombay High Court set the June 2025 review order aside because not all affected parties had been heard, and the Supreme Court later directed a fresh hearing of the review.
  4. 25 March 2026: after public consultation, MERC issued its order in Case No. 75 of 2025. MSEDCL bills state that tariffs were revised from 1 April 2026 under the Case No. 217 of 2024 order and this order.

The rates on this page are the FY 2026-27 residential (LT-I(B)) figures in force from 1 April 2026. MERC's multi-year order already sets later years, so the next change is due on 1 April 2027.
