Noida RWAs raise alarm over UPPCL’s power policy and smart meters

Noida Several resident welfare associations (RWAs) across Noida have raised concerns over recent changes to electricity billing and payment systems implemented by the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL), alleging widespread inconvenience and unresolved technical issues, particularly following the rollout of smart prepaid metres beginning January 2026.

RWA representatives said the new system – intended to streamline billing and consumption – has instead made the process harder to navigate, with both the UPPCL Smart App and the consumer app remaining non-functional in recent days.
