APSPDCL to Install EV Charging Stations, Pilot Smart Meters

The electricity company in southern Andhra Pradesh, APSPDCL, wants to put in special charging spots for electric cars along the big roads called national highways.

They are also testing new smart electricity meters in a small number of homes first, belonging to their own employees.

This is to check if these meters work well, like how their payment and alert systems function, before they offer them to regular customers.

The company's leader also told employees to install smart meters faster for some of the main power lines and equipment.

This helps them keep a better eye on the electricity and reduce waste.

They will also look into other places to put the EV chargers, like government buildings or hospitals.
