Smart Meters Save Indore Consumers ₹7 Crore
In Indore, Madhya Pradesh, smart meters and a special pricing system called Time of Day (TOD) are helping people save money on their electricity bills.
The government gives discounts for using electricity during the day when the sun is shining, and charges more for using it at night.
This helps the environment and makes using energy more efficient.
In the last month, people saved about ₹7 crore.
More than 14.70 lakh smart meters have been installed in the region, with Indore having the most.
This system is good for both saving money and using energy wisely.

Rebates worth ₹12 crore were credited for daytime electricity usage.
Additional charges of ₹5.87 crore were collected for evening and night usage.
Over 14.70 lakh smart meters have been installed in the Malwa–Nimar region.
Indore leads with 6.17 lakh smart meters installed, followed by Ratlam with 91,000.
