One central place for the PEI API

This portal combines release information, integration guidance, client onboarding, security requirements, legal terms and privacy disclosures. Technical endpoint details remain in the versioned API documentation and OpenAPI specification.

The production API remains under /v1/. This portal is synced to API V1.6.1 and Controller V2.2.22, but it does not execute or modify tariff calculations.

Maharashtra licensee coverage
MSEDCL Complete Payable V2 is production-active for approved profiles. TPC-D, AEML and BEST remain routed through the Maharashtra statewide verified base-tariff architecture. Verified base-tariff calculations are available through the public API for the released statewide scope. FAC/FPPPA, payable ToD and other bill components remain explicit, fail-closed or non-payable unless the applicable verified source and billing context are available.

Gujarat statewide verified coverage
Gujarat Electricity Tariff API 2026-27 →
FY 2026-27 coverage is live through POST /v1/calculate for DGVCL, MGVCL, PGVCL and UGVCL. Current scope covers DOMESTIC_URBAN and DOMESTIC_RURAL postpaid residential consumers with verified energy slabs and connected-load fixed charges. FPPAS, ToU, subsidy, electricity duty/taxes, prepaid and unresolved BPL/category semantics remain excluded or fail-closed.

Rajasthan Verified Shadow V1 — Public Calculation Live
FY 2026-27 Rajasthan coverage is live through POST /v1/calculate across 41 verified districts with explicit routing for JVVNL, AVVNL and JDVVNL. Release ID: RJ-2026-27-VERIFIED-SHADOW-V1. District/licensee mismatches fail closed and automatic licensee fallback is disabled. FPPAS and electricity duty remain verified shadow components; subsidy and regulatory-charge eligibility remain fail-closed where context is incomplete. Production payable remains disabled. Solar/net-metering is planned for Rajasthan V1.1+.

What verification status means
Released calculations and verification workflows use verified regulatory data and deterministic arithmetic. The API does not claim to reproduce an exact current utility bill. Bihar unresolved monetary subsidy where applicable, Maharashtra FAC/FPPPA, Telangana current-period FCA/FPPAS, payable ToD where not explicitly released, statutory levies, taxes, duties, meter rent, arrears, rebates and other bill components remain excluded or fail-closed unless a response explicitly states otherwise.

Built for energy products, not tariff-table scraping

Solar platformsUse verified base electricity cost as an input to savings and proposal workflows.

Odisha Verified Shadow V1.0.0 — Public Calculation Live FY 2026-27 verified shadow calculation across OD_TPCODL, OD_TPNODL, OD_TPWODL and OD_TPSODL with explicit licensee routing, domestic calculation and gross-metering support. Gross-metering mechanism and generation quantity accounting are verified; generic OERC gross FiT remains under regulatory hold, so monetary export settlement and production payable activation remain disabled.

Telangana Commercial Verification — Live in Verified Shadow FY 2026-27 commercial electricity bill verification is live through the authenticated API using deterministic tariff components, actual-vs-expected comparison and fail-closed regulatory handling. Current payable completion remains held pending a verified current-period FCA/FPPAS regulatory rate source.

Jharkhand V1 — Live Verified Tariff Estimation Jharkhand FY 2026-27 is live through the authenticated API in VERIFIED_TARIFF_ESTIMATION_V1 mode with location-aware, fail-closed routing. JBVNL, TSL and TSUISL are active verified estimation paths; DVC-JH is active with component holds. SAIL-BSL remains held-unverified and TPCL is excluded from consumer retail routing. Current FPPAS and electricity duty remain HELD_UNVERIFIED, so complete payable and production payable remain disabled.

EV charging productsEstimate charging electricity cost with state, licensee and category-aware tariff logic.

Energy softwareReplace hard-coded tariff tables with structured, source-traceable responses.

billing_days is optional and backward compatible. Executable values are currently 25, 30 and 40 only. For supported Bihar domestic calculations, POST /calculate may evaluate the frozen entitlement contract and apply the verified monetary subsidy core. An approved exact-month FPPAS version may also affect the verified monetary composition when its recovery-month and billing conditions match. The response preserves the base-tariff result separately and exposes final_payable, electricity-duty and ancillary-charge status. Resolve exact category codes and required fields through GET /categories before calculation.

2. Read capabilities Call /capabilities before enabling bill components.

3. Resolve catalogue Use /states and /categories.

4. Inspect evidence Use /tariffs, /sources and the verified evidence/contract routes.

5. Calculate Send validated inputs to /calculate; consume final_payable and honour all unresolved-component disclosures.

6. Preserve and monitor Retain request metadata; track 401, 403, 422, 429 and 5xx.

MCP Server v1.6.1

Connect AI agents and MCP-compatible clients directly to the tariff, bill-verification and regulatory-intelligence API without duplicating state-specific electricity logic.

Endpoint: https://powerexpertindia.com/api/mcp/index.php
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Authentication: X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY or Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Tools: health, capabilities, states, categories, tariffs, sources, calculate, solar_savings

MCP endpoint: https://powerexpertindia.com/api/mcp/index.php Header: X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY Transport: Streamable HTTP

MCP is a thin adapter. Tariff calculation, bill verification, regulatory evidence, release controls and billing logic remain server-side in the Power Expert India API.

MCP agent contract

Step	Purpose
`initialize`	Establish the MCP session and negotiate the client/server connection.
`tools/list`	Discover available PEI tools and their input schemas.
`tools/call`	Invoke a PEI tool such as capabilities, states, tariffs, sources or calculate.
`capabilities`	Read state-specific production, Verified Shadow and payable-hold status before monetary execution.

Fail-closed agent rule
Agents must not infer production-payable status from state availability alone. Use states and capabilities first and honour production_payable, verification status and unresolved-component disclosures. Authentication failures return 401, insufficient scopes/state access return 403, and invalid request contracts fail explicitly rather than falling back to another state or tariff.

Credential and security requirements

Store the key in a server-side secret manager or protected environment variable.
Do not expose a production key in browser JavaScript, mobile bundles or public repositories.
Never put a key in a URL, screenshot or support message.
Use the smallest required route scopes and approved state access.
Configure exact browser origins where CORS access is required.
Request immediate rotation after suspected exposure.

The protected registry stores SHA-256 key hashes. Dedicated API key plaintext is not intentionally written to request logs.

Rate limits and retries

The default production profile is 60 requests per minute per key with a 20-request burst allowance within 10 seconds. Limits are registry-driven and may differ by client plan.

Respect 429 and the Retry-After header.
Use bounded exponential backoff and request deduplication.
Do not retry validation or authentication errors without correcting the request.
Use caching for stable catalogue responses where appropriate.

Client testing checklist

Valid header authentication returns the expected response.
Missing credentials return 401.
Query-string credentials are rejected.
Unapproved scopes or states return 403.
Malformed JSON and invalid field types return documented errors.
Omitting billing_days preserves backward-compatible base calculation.
Unsupported subsidy billing days fail closed with 422.
Historical FPPAS percentages are never applied as the current bill rate.
The client respects rate-limit headers.
Money arithmetic uses integer paise values where provided.
The response request_id is retained for troubleshooting.
Consumer-facing output preserves all monetary-scope limitations.

Required consumer-facing disclosure

Applications displaying an estimated amount should clearly distinguish it from an official utility bill.

Suggested wording:

“This estimate uses the verified tariff components currently released for the selected category. Any subsidy entitlement shown is units-only and does not reduce the amount. Historical FPPAS evidence is not a current applied rate. Monetary subsidy, current fuel or power-purchase adjustments, taxes, duties, meter rent, arrears, rebates and other bill components may change the final payable amount.”

Request API access

Use the secure API access request form for pilot, pricing, production or partnership discussions. Tell us the states, licensees, routes and expected traffic you need. Do not include an API key or consumer account data.

Request Pilot / Pricing

Organisation or project Name of the client application or business.

Technical contact Person responsible for integration and incidents.

Use case Bill estimation, EV, AC, solar, analytics or another approved use.

Required routes Only the scopes genuinely needed by the client.

Expected traffic Typical and peak requests per minute.

Browser origins Exact HTTPS origins where browser CORS is required.

Access requests are manually reviewed. Approval does not automatically generate a key. Dedicated keys are created through the protected PEI key management console after scope and security review.

Maharashtra — State-Specific Developer Example

Explore one state-specific FY 2026–27 verified tariff implementation for MSEDCL, TPC-D, AEML and BEST using production-tested payloads.

Phase 1 scope: FAC/FPPPA/FPPAS and Time-of-Day adjustments are not applied to the payable total. Subsidy, electricity duty, taxes/cess, arrears, penalties and miscellaneous bill components are excluded. This example uses verified tariff components. Exact current utility-bill reproduction is claimed only when every required billing component is explicitly verified and released.
