IEEMA hosts 10th Edition of Metering India Conference with top Industry experts to strengthen the energy metering Industry

New Delhi : The Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA) hosted the 10th edition of the Metering India Conference, the biennial conference that has been the benchmark for innovation, collaboration and excellence in the energy metering industry, today in Delhi. This unique platform brought together over 500 delegates including top industry leaders, policymakers and experts to discuss the latest innovations and advancements in energy metering.
With the theme “Sustainable and Consumer-Centric Utilities Towards Net Zero” this year’s event focused on sharing knowledge, networking and developing business for a sustainable energy future. The conference also touched upon the role of smart metering in sustainability and consumer empowerment as we move towards a Net Zero future.
Guest of honor, Srikant Nagulapalli, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Power, said, “With a goal of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, initiatives like the RDSS scheme and the rollout of 22.7 crore smart meters are transformative steps. Smart metering is not just about efficiency—it’s about empowering consumers, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing financial viability. With a production capacity of 10 crore smart meters annually, India is well-positioned to become a global hub for smart meter exports. As we prioritize these installations and address challenges through consumer engagement and innovative solutions, we are charting a sustainable path toward a NetZero future.”

Sunil Singhvi, President, IEEMA stated “The immense participation of industry leaders at the Metering India conference reflects the incredible strides we’ve made in the Indian power sector. As an industry, we’ve championed reforms, embraced cutting-edge technology, and empowered consumers like never before. India is poised to become the largest pre-payment system market globally, and we must build on this momentum by prioritizing system design, data security, and collaborative innovation. Together, we can ensure that our efforts not only drive domestic growth but also position India as a global leader in energy exports and renewable advancements.”

Mr. Jaideep Mukherjee, Chairman – IEEMA Meter Division added “The Indian power sector stands at the forefront of transformation, driving sustainability through decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization. By placing consumers at the heart of this transition, we are fostering a positive industry outlook while supporting national initiatives like the installation of 250 million smart meters. This monumental effort, underpinned by industry collaboration and government support, showcases our commitment to an Aatmanirbhar Bharat and a sustainable future.”
