Vi Business, the enterprise division of Vodafone Idea Limited, has announced an ambitious plan to deploy 12 million smart meters across India within the next three years. This large-scale rollout aligns with the India Smart Grid Mission and is poised to strengthen the country’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and IoT ecosystem.
With a proven track record in smart meter integration since 2018, Vi Business will leverage its IoT Smart Central platform to enable real-time visibility, operational efficiency, and data security for both utilities and consumers. The company’s pre-deployment IoT Lab and robust onboarding processes aim to support a seamless and scalable rollout nationwide.
Where rapid urban expansion demands efficient energy management, the announcement has drawn keen interest. Power distribution companies in the region anticipate a sharp reduction in billing discrepancies and energy losses, while consumers can expect greater control over electricity usage. Analysts see this as a step toward strengthening infrastructure backbone and boosting investor confidence in local utilities.
