FPA This Month — The FCA Tracker
The fuel charges adjustment (FCA, still printed as FPA on many bills) on the bill you are about to receive — with the decision, the notification and the billing month, every month.
November 2026 bills: FCA of +Rs 2.3673 per unit, for the September 2026 fuel month — S.R.O. 2094(I)/2026, notified 6 November 2026. Actual fuel cost came in at Rs 9.8268 against a reference of Rs 7.4596; the difference is what you are paying. Every calculator on this site is prefilled with this figure.
The recent series
| Fuel month | FCA (Rs / unit) | Billed in | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 2026 | +0.7500 | August 2026 bills | Express Tribune, 8 August 2026 |
| July 2026 | +2.0581 | September 2026 bills | NEPRA decision, 4 September 2026 |
| August 2026 | +1.1086 | October 2026 bills | NEPRA decision, 7 October 2026 |
| September 2026 | +2.3673 | November 2026 bills | S.R.O. 2094(I)/2026, notified 6 November 2026 |
Two things worth knowing: the adjustment is charged on the fuel month's units, not necessarily this month's — if your September usage was higher, your November FCA line is bigger than your current units suggest; and lifeline and prepaid consumers are exempt. The mechanism is explained in FPA / FCA explained.
QTA — the quarterly adjustment, and December's status
Current window (September – November 2026): +Rs 0.5194 per unit, S.R.O. 1501(I)/2026. The next window — December 2026 to February 2027 — is not decided: the companies have requested +Rs 1.34 per unit and NEPRA's hearing is set for 17 November 2026. A request is not a decision, so no December figure appears anywhere on this site until NEPRA decides it. When it does, this page and every calculator default change together. The quarterly mechanism: QTA explained.
What the FCA does to a real bill
At +Rs 2.3673, the fuel adjustment alone adds Rs 710.19 to a 300-unit bill before GST takes its share of that too (Rs 838.02 with GST counted). When the FCA spikes, it — not the slabs — is usually the reason a same-usage bill jumps between months. See it on your own usage in the bill calculator, and check a printed bill against it in the bill checker.
