Why It’s Time to Say Goodbye to Old Meters: And How Adwards Smart Meters Are Powering the Change

In an era driven by convenience, affordabilityand sustainability, India’s power sector is undergoing a digital transformation — and Adwards Smart Meters are right at the center of it.

Backed by the government’s Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) and the Central Electricity Authority’s (CEA) mandate to shift all households to smart metering, the message is clear: Old meters are outdatedand smart prepaid meters are the future.

Old Meters = Old Problems

In many Indian households, the traditional electricity meter still finds a place — but not without its fair share of hassles:

  • Manual reading and bill submissions every month

  • No real-time visibility of energy usage

  • Higher chances of reading errors or delayed billing

  • Physical access required just to check your current reading

  • No usage alerts or reminders — often leading to bill shock
