India announces smart meter rollout timeline
Consumer acceptance and a lack of funding delayed smart meter penetration in India over the past years, according to Anil Rawal, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of IntelliSmart Infrastructure. Efforts by EESL and utilities have to date resulted in just over 2 million units being deployed across India.
However, the pledge made by the Indian government in 2021 to install advanced units for all residential customers by 2025 is expected to be a game-changer. It will see more than 250 million smart meters installed through 2025 and more funding mechanisms introduced to support deployment.
