Indore, Madhya Pradesh — Renowned for its exemplary cleanliness, Indore has once again set an example, this time in the field of smart metering. A team of 14 engineers from 11 power supply companies across eight states recently visited the Smart Meter Master Control Centre at Polo Ground to learn about Indore’s smart metering operations.
