If you live in Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, or anywhere else in Odisha, your electricity is managed by one of the four Tata Power joint ventures (TPCODL, TPNODL, TPWODL, or TPSODL). While the name on your meter might differ depending on your region, the tariff structure is uniformly set by the Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC).
Compared to other Indian states that use confusing “cliffs” or heavily tax their residents, Odisha boasts one of the most straightforward and consumer-friendly tariff structures. They also offer some of the highest financial rebates for digital payments in the country.
Let’s break down exactly what the 1 unit electricity price in Odisha is for FY 2026-27, explain the standard telescopic slabs, and show you how to legally claim multiple rebates to lower your monthly Tata Power bill.
The Standard Telescopic Slabs (Domestic)
Odisha uses a traditional “telescopic” billing system for all domestic households. This means your bill is calculated in layers. Everyone gets the first 50 units at the cheapest rate, regardless of how high their total consumption goes.
📊 Odisha Domestic (LT) Tariff Rates
| Monthly Consumption Slab | Base Energy Rate (per unit) |
|---|---|
| 0 – 50 Units | ₹ 2.90 |
| 51 – 200 Units | ₹ 4.70 |
| 201 – 400 Units | ₹ 5.70 |
| Above 400 Units | ₹ 6.10 |
⚡ Fixed Charges: A flat ₹20 per kW of sanctioned load is added to your bill every month. This is one of the lowest fixed charges in India.
One of the best features of Odisha’s tariff is the top slab. Unlike states where the highest slab jumps to ₹8.00 or ₹9.00, Odisha caps its highest domestic rate at an extremely reasonable ₹6.10 per unit (for anything above 400 units). This makes running air conditioners in the summer much more affordable.
Taxes: The Lowest Electricity Duty in India
If you look at electricity bills in Maharashtra, Punjab, or Kerala, you will see the state government adding massive 10% to 18% taxes on top of the energy charges.
Odisha takes a completely different approach. The state levies an electricity duty of just ₹0.02 (2 paise) per unit.
- If you consume 100 units, your electricity duty is a mere ₹2.00.
- If you consume 500 units, your electricity duty is just ₹10.00.
Because there are no percentage-based multipliers, your bill is almost entirely made up of pure energy charges, making it very transparent and easy to predict.

Commercial, Agricultural & EV Tariffs
Tata Power and OERC have structured separate slabs for commercial properties and highly subsidized rates for agriculture.
Commercial Shops (General Purpose)
Shops, offices, and commercial establishments in Odisha are also billed on a telescopic basis, though their rates are higher than domestic households.
- 0 to 100 Units: ₹5.90 per unit
- 101 to 300 Units: ₹7.00 per unit
- Above 300 Units: ₹7.60 per unit
- Fixed Charge: ₹30 per kW per month
Irrigation and Agriculture
Farmers operating water pumps receive heavily subsidized flat-rate tariffs to support agriculture.
- Energy Rate: Flat ₹1.50 per unit
- Fixed Charge: Flat ₹20.00 per month
EV Charging Stations (Public)
To incentivize the adoption of electric vehicles, public charging stations enjoy a flat energy rate and are completely exempt from fixed capacity charges.
- Energy Rate: Flat ₹5.00 per unit
- Fixed Charge: Nil (₹0.00)
3 Strategies to Claim Rebates on Your Odisha Bill
What makes Odisha truly unique is the number of official rebates OERC mandates Tata Power to give to consumers who pay digitally and on time.
| Rebate Type | How to Claim It |
|---|---|
| 1. Prompt Payment Rebate | If you pay your bill on or before the due date, Tata Power deducts 10 Paise per unit from your bill. If you consumed 300 units, that is an instant ₹30 discount. |
| 2. Digital Payment Discount | If you pay your bill online (via UPI, debit card, or the official Tata Power app) instead of cash, you receive a flat 4% discount on your total bill amount. |
| 3. E-Bill Rebate | If you opt out of receiving a physical paper bill and choose to receive your bill via Email/SMS only, you receive a flat ₹10 discount every single month. |
Pro Tip: You can stack all three of these rebates! Opt for E-bills, pay online, and pay before the due date to maximize your monthly savings.
