Our Assessment

Smart-grid and metering rollout is advancing under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS), which funds prepaid smart meters, feeder/distribution-transformer metering, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and state/regional control centres, complemented by the India Energy Stack initiative to digitise the power ecosystem. Smart-meter installation has scaled to tens of millions, but nationwide coverage and full smart-grid integration are still in progress. Partial.
