JPDCL Launches Smart Metre Drive

The Jammu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (JPDCL) has commenced a region-wide rollout of prepaid smart metres across Jammu, marking a significant leap towards power sector modernisation in the Union Territory.

The initiative is part of a broader government push to implement smart infrastructure that enhances transparency, efficiency, and consumer convenience.

These prepaid smart metres allow users to monitor electricity usage in real-time and recharge digitally, thereby encouraging responsible consumption and enabling better load management. The deployment also aims to reduce billing disputes, curb power theft, and improve overall revenue collection for the utility.

As part of the phased implementation, installations have begun in key areas, with JPDCL urging residents to cooperate with teams and embrace the shift. The move aligns with India’s national smart metering mission and reflects the growing emphasis on digital transformation in utility services.

This effort is expected to bring long-term benefits including enhanced power supply reliability, better grid management, and data-driven decision-making. With the prepaid smart metering rollout, JPDCL is positioning itself at the forefront of DISCOM reforms in Jammu and Kashmir, empowering consumers and paving the way for a more accountable electricity ecosystem.
