Metering technologies enable precise measurement and billing of electricity consumption, fostering transparency and trust between distribution companies (DisCos) and consumers. By enhancing billing accuracy and customer satisfaction, metering initiatives like CAPMI, MAP, NMMP, and PMI are making data collection and billing processes more efficient and reliable.

This report explores how these initiatives address the metering gap, reduce Aggregate Technical, Commercial, and Collection (ATC&C) losses, and promote sustainable energy practices. Improved metering density and accuracy attract more investment and support for the sector, enhancing the financial viability of DisCos.

However, widespread adoption of these technologies depends on addressing regulatory challenges, ensuring equitable access to metering infrastructure, and overcoming barriers such as energy theft and vandalism.
