Vi Business, the enterprise arm of Vodafone Idea Limited, today announced its strategic initiative to deploy 12 million smart meters across India over the next three years. This milestone reflects Vi Business’s continued commitment to advancing India’s digital energy infrastructure and aligns with the objectives of the India Smart Grid Mission.
The deployment will be powered by Vi’s IoT Smart Central platform, offering robust visibility, remote monitoring, and secure data management across millions of smart meters. The company’s structured onboarding methodology, telco-grade security protocols, and pre-deployment testing through its IoT Lab are designed to ensure seamless integration and scalability for utilities and consumers alike. Speaking on the development, Arvind Nevatia, Chief Enterprise Business Officer, Vi, said, “We are proud to lead the next phase of India’s energy transition. Our goal is to reduce losses, improve operational efficiency, and enhance the overall consumer experience.”
The initiative is expected to have a significant impact. With power distribution networks under increasing pressure, the smart meter deployment is likely to reduce energy theft and billing errors, offering a much-needed boost to infrastructure efficiency and paving the way for smarter urban management.
