Vi Business—the enterprise arm of Vodafone Idea Limited—has announced its mission to deploy 12 million smart meters across India in the next three years. Designed to transform the way households and utilities manage electricity, the initiative aims to empower consumers with real-time data and help DISCOMs reduce power losses and improve billing accuracy.
Backed by Vi’s IoT Smart Central platform and years of on-ground experience, the rollout will bring secure, efficient, and scalable solutions to urban and rural areas alike. From onboarding to deployment, each meter will be tested through Vi’s dedicated IoT Lab, ensuring performance and reliability.
The initiative brings new hope to consumers and local power providers. Known for frequent power disruptions and billing inconsistencies, the hill city stands to benefit significantly. Smart meters could offer better control over consumption and reduce energy pilferage—creating a fairer and more efficient energy system for the community.
