Smart Meters Coming Soon in Telangana.. New Connections to Get Them First

The Telangana government is preparing to introduce smart electricity meters across the state. The rollout is expected to begin with new electricity connections, while existing connections will be covered gradually in phases.

Under the proposed system, smart meters will automatically record electricity consumption. Readings will be taken at midnight on the 30th or 31st of every month, following which bills will be generated based on actual usage. Government offices are also expected to be fitted with prepaid meters on a mandatory basis.
