UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.1896
ANSWERED ON 31.07.2025
SMART METERS SANCTIONED UNDER RDSS IN UP
1896. SHRI PUSHPENDRA SAROJ:
Will the Minister of POWER
be pleased to state:
(a) the total number of smart meters sanctioned and installed under the
Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) till date, State and year-wise
including district-wise for Uttar Pradesh;
(b) the details of funds sanctioned, released and utilised for smart metering
under RDSS, State and year-wise;
(c) the number of households electrified under RDSS in Uttar Pradesh, if so, the
details thereof, district-wise and social category-wise; and
(d) whether the Government has undertaken any assessment to evaluate the
impact of smart meter installation and if so, the key findings thereof?
A N S W E R
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER
(SHRI SHRIPAD NAIK)
(a) : State-wise details of smart meters sanctioned and installed till date under
Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) are placed at Annexure-I. District-
wise details of smart meters sanctioned and installed till date in Uttar Pradesh
under RDSS are placed at Annexure-II.
(b) : State-wise details of funds sanctioned and released for smart metering
works under RDSS are placed at Annexure-III.
(c) : The district-wise details of households sanctioned and electrified till date
in Uttar Pradesh under RDSS are placed at Annexure-IV.
……..2.- 2 -
(d) : The smart meter installation is currently in its initial implementation phase.
The impact of smart meter installation can be assessed once significant numbers
have been installed. In states like Bihar and Assam, where substantial numbers
have been installed, the impact of smart meter installation may be seen as below:
i. Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) Losses:
State FY21 FY24
Assam 18.73% 14.03%
Bihar 35.33% 20.32%
ii. Gap between Average Cost of Supply and Average Revenue Realised in
Rs/kWh:
State FY21 FY24
Assam 0.1 (0.22)
Bihar 0.72 (0.18)
iii. Annual PAT/ (Loss) in Rs. Crore:
State FY21 FY24
Assam (292) 384
Bihar (1,942) 1,411
As can be seen from above tables, both the States have shown substantial
improvement both in terms of operational and financial parameters. It is expected
that after large scale deployment of smart meters, similar impact will be seen in
other States also.
