Answer: To replace India's 25 crore conventional meters with smart meters
Notes: Kerala's decision to opt for an alternative approach to smart electricity meters undermines government's Rs 3 lakh crore smart meters project. Smart meters record electricity usage and voltage levels, aiming to enhance billing and collection efficiencies for distribution companies. The Smart Meter National Programme (SMNP) seeks to replace 25 crore conventional meters with smart ones across India. Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture under the Ministry of Power, leads the implementation.
