The digital transformation in the Indian utilities sector, driven by smart meter adoption and government schemes like RDSS, aims to curb AT&C losses, modernise infrastructure, and enhance energy efficiency. CyanConnode’s Parthasarathi Krishnan opines about the industry trends with the EPR Magazine.
Key factors driving digital transformation
The digital transition in India’s utilities sector is driven by the widespread adoption of smart meters, underpinned by government initiatives such as the RDSS and revised SBD. Aimed at installing smart meters in 250 million households, these policies seek to improve billing efficiency and potentially save ₹10 trillion over the next decade. Smart meters provide real-time energy consumption data, support demand response management, enable renewable energy integration, offer remote management capabilities, and lay the groundwork for smart grids. This revolutionises energy management towards greater sustainability and efficiency, marking a critical step in modernising the utility infrastructure within a concise strategic framework.
