Accelerating smart meter deployment in India The deployment of smart meters across India has the potential to revolutionise the power sector. These meters not only enhance the financial health of Discoms but also enhance consumer experience. Beyond this, they are crucial for implementing demand-side management, time-based metering, and ultimately managing peak loads and integrating renewable energy sources. Smart prepaid meters, particularly, can be a crucial component in directly transferring subsidies to consumers. Several states have made significant progress in the deployment of smart meters. For instance, Bihar, is now at the forefront with 31,10,515 smart meters installed followed by Assam with 20,58,490 smart meters installed (Source: National Smart Grid Mission). Key learnings from these states can be replicated to ensure a nationwide rollout. Some of the best practices include: Ensuring a smooth transition to prepaid meters, including clear communication and tariff simplification. Developing a strong and secure IT solution stack to manage the influx of data. A proactive inclusion of regular cybersecurity audits  Investing in capacity building and training programs will empower local stakeholders to effectively deploy and manage smart metering systems, ensuring their long-term sustainability and success. Strengthening policy and regulations further to achieve government targets and ensure comprehensive data security. Implementing mechanisms to monitor data service level agreements (SLAs) at the national level (Source: PowerLine). By implementing these recommendations, India can unlock the full potential of smart meters, leading to a more efficient, consumer-centric, and sustainable power sector.

Smart Metering: Transforming India’s Power Grid Smart meters are being inducted into India's power infrastructure owing to their ability to improve operational and fi­nancial performance of the utilities. As of May 2024, India has sanctioned the installation of 22,22,64,571 smart meters, of which 1,11,92,728 have been installed. Additionally, 52,65,011 DT meters have been sanctioned (with 40,436 installed) and 1,83,316 feeder meters have been sanctioned (with 13,029 installed) (Source: National Smart Grid Mission). The Ministry of Power's Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) is playing a pivotal role in driving the induction of smart meters. Launched in 2022, the RDSS is a flagship programme with an outlay of Rs 3,037.58 billion allocated over a five-year period (2021-22 to 2025-26). The program's primary objectives are to: > Reduce aggregate technical and commercial losses to 12-15% > Reduce the average cost of supply-average revenue realised gap to zero by the financial year 2024-25 > Improve the quality, reliability, and affordability of power supply for consumers through a financially sustainable and operationally efficient distribution sector (Source: PIB, Ministry of Power) > It is important to know the best practices in smart metering sector, and the learnings from them. Also to understand the policy and regulatory frameworks and the challenges that come in implementation, join us for the Second CII > Conference on Smart Metering on 2 July 2024.
