J&K PDD ensures 100 pc smart metering by 2026

Jammu, Mar 5 (UNI) Stating that Jammu and Kashmir is the only Union Territory across the country where consumers are still provided electricity without meters, the Power Development Department (PDD) on Tuesday asserted that the areas 'saturated with smart meters' are experiencing significantly reduced losses and improved power supply.
“Concerted efforts are underway to convert the entire consumer base of Jammu and Kashmir to the modern prepaid metering systems so as to ensure a better power supply”, the PDD spokesperson said while rebutting the misinformation being circulated across the social media platforms, featuring women protesting against electricity meters, stated that electricity is a commodity, similar to other goods available in the market.
As such, the Spokesperson said it is important to recognize that electricity isn't a free service; rather, it incurs costs at every stage of its journey, from generation at the source to transmission and ultimately distribution.
