Energy meters in India have dominantly been electronic as well as mechanical in nature but in the recent times the trend is shifting towards a more advanced and accurate energy meters which are electronic in nature. Due to electricity theft, consumer not paying their bills on time, incorrect readings leads to loss of high percentage of electricity. This can be reduced by using smart energy meters . A correct billing system will solve this problem of unpaid bills and reducing human errors which ensures correct revenue. We also have heard of cases where during the situation of high voltage or if there is a spark then the consumer is not intimated on time which can cause serious concerns like fire. In the current system, the energy meter reading is done at consumers location by the supplier. This will consume more time and more labor. There also some cases where printed bills gets lost. If the users are not paying bills on time the supplier will have to disconnect the power supply which is also very time and labor consuming.
