What changed
JVVNL's FY26 tariff order (effective Apr 2026) raises the higher-slab domestic rate to:
| Slab | Old rate (₹/unit) | New rate (₹/unit) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-150 units | 5.50 | 5.80 | +5.5% |
| 151-300 units | 7.55 | 8.00 | +6.0% |
| 301-500 units | 8.90 | 9.55 | +7.3% |
| 500+ units | 10.55 | 11.40 | +8.0% |
Why this is good news for solar customers
- A 3 kW system that previously saved ₹4,200/month now saves ₹4,500-₹4,700/month (without any change to your usage)
- Payback period drops by ~6 months for most Jaipur households
- The savings advantage grows every year because grid tariffs rise but solar electricity remains free
ROI impact (3 kW system, ₹6,000 monthly bill)
- Old payback: 4.7 years → New payback: 4.2 years
- 25-year lifetime savings: ₹22 L → ₹26 L (₹4 L upside)
What this means
If you were on the fence about solar, the FY26 tariff hike has just made the case 8% better. Lock in current PM Solar pricing (₹62k/kW) before any supplier-side increases.
