Starting in April of 2019, the Government India planned to replace all of the country’s existing meters with smart prepaid meters. The topic was again touched upon during the Budget Discussion 2020. This initiative improves billing and collection and is a step in the direction of providing electricity for all. Many residential societies have already introduced the prepaid meters in their community and many more are in the process of doing so.
Benefits include:
- Consumers can choose their own service provider and rate as per their requirement
- Saves cost on manual metering, billing and collection
- Consumers can track their electricity use and plan their power purchase better
- Recharging your power can be done digitally and instantly
- Power thefts can be easily spotted and prevented
