Smart meter operators may get first claim on consumer power bills
The government may allow prepaid electricity meter suppliers the first claim on consumer power bills in a bid to avoid payment delays and attract investment in the space, a senior official said.
The Union power ministry is soon expected to issue standard bid documents (SBDs) for smart meter tenders by states willing to avail incentive under the ₹3.03 lakh-crore revamped power distribution scheme.
