Prepaid Smart Meters in 3 Years to Replace Conventional Energy Meters

Taking electricity to every household has been a major achievement.

However, the distribution sector, particularly the DISCOMS are under financial stress.

The Ministry intends to promote “smart” metering. I urge all the States and Union Territories to replace conventional energy meters by prepaid smart meters in the next 3 years.

Also, this would give consumers the freedom to choose the supplier and rate as per their requirements.
