Madhya Pradesh low-income and domestic consumers, here’s continued big relief in 2026! The state government maintains the popular subsidized electricity scheme, where households consuming up to 100 units monthly pay only ₹100 flat bill, and up to 150 units get significant subsidy support. Over 1 crore families benefit across cities like Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Jabalpur, and Ujjain – government covers the rest, reducing bills drastically for low-consumption homes in the new year.
Know Complete Details
Under the ongoing subsidized tariff structure (earlier known as Atal Grih Jyoti Yojana or similar initiatives), domestic consumers with low usage get direct relief:
- Up to 100 units/month: Flat ₹100 bill (government subsidizes the difference, often ₹500-600+)
- Up to 150 units: Additional subsidy, keeping effective cost low
- Above 150 units: Normal slab rates apply (around ₹4-7 per unit depending on consumption)
- Applies to all registered domestic connections via MP DISCOMs (East, West, Central)
In 2025-26, government allocated thousands of crores for domestic subsidies, benefiting over 1.07 crore consumers. Scheme auto-applies on billing – no separate registration needed for basic subsidy.
How Much Benefit/Relief/Savings
Major savings for low-income and moderate usage families.
Example Monthly Savings (approx at average unsubsidized rate ₹6-7/unit):
| Monthly Consumption | Approx Unsubsidized Bill | Subsidized Bill | Monthly Savings (Subsidy) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 100 units | ₹600-700 | ₹100 | ₹500-600 |
| 101-150 units | ₹800-1,000 | ₹300-500 (effective) | ₹400-600 |
| 200 units | ₹1,200-1,400 | Normal slabs | Partial |
Annual savings up to ₹6,000-8,000 for families under 100 units limit – huge boost for BPL and low-income households.
