Real-World Examples
Case Study 1
Let’s say your current meter reading is 5000 kWh, and your previous reading was 4500 kWh. If the current MSEB tariff for residential consumers is ₹3.20 per kWh, your electricity consumption for this period would be:
Consumption = (5000 - 4500) * 3.20 = 1600 kWh * ₹3.20 = ₹5120
Data & Statistics
| Unit of Measurement | Rate (₹) |
|---|---|
| kWh | 3.20 |
| Units | 1.60 |
