CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) is likely to launch a mobile app in January 2022 to make meter reading easier. According to sources, consumers will be able to receive their bills as SMS within minutes of uploading photos of their meters onto the app. This will make assessment quicker and eliminate human error.
The move is seen as part of the digitisation push by the Public Sector Undertaking (PSU), which already has online payment methods to reduce crowding at its direct collection centres. A senior TANGEDCO official said: “During Covid-19 outbreak last year, we couldn’t manually read meters.
