Sponsored Article | End-to-End Smart Metering: Building Intelligent, Connected Utility Ecosystems
The global utility sector is rapidly transitioning toward intelligent, digital, and sustainable energy networks. At the heart of this transformation is Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), enabling utilities to improve operational efficiency, strengthen revenue assurance, enhance customer engagement, and build smarter, more resilient grids.
India is leading this global transformation through the world's largest smart metering programme, with more than 250 million smart meters planned for deployment under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS). This unprecedented initiative is redefining utility operations by accelerating digitalization, reducing AT&C losses, and enabling data-driven decision-making at a national scale.
As one of India's leading AMI solution providers, AEW has already deployed over 7 million smart meters across multiple utility projects, securing more than 10% market share of India's installed smart metering base. Leveraging this proven experience, AEW delivers complete end-to-end AMI solutions that help utilities worldwide modernize their infrastructure with intelligent, secure, and scalable technologies.
