In a significant development for GMR Smart Electricity Distribution Private Limited (GSEDPL), a subsidiary of GMR Power and Urban Infra Limited, the company has secured contracts for large-scale smart metering projects in Uttar Pradesh, India. These projects were awarded following Letters of Award (LOA) received in September 2023 from Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PuVNL) and Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited.

The project scope encompasses a staggering 75.69 lakh (7.569 million) smart meters to be installed across four zones in Uttar Pradesh. To ensure successful execution, GSEDPL has formed three Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) dedicated to managing these projects. Additionally, GSEDPL has partnered with Bosch Global Software Technologies (BGSW), a recognized leader in smart metering system architecture. BGSW will not only contribute its expertise in the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected products but will also invest 10% equity capital in each of the three project SPVs. GSEDPL will hold the remaining 90% equity.

The project breakdown reveals individual details for each zone. In Dakshinanchal (Agra and Aligarh), GSEDPL will install 25.52 lakh smart meters with a project value of Rs 2,469.71 crore (inclusive of GST). The implementation period is estimated at 27 months, followed by a 93-month operation period. For Purvanchal, the project encompasses two zones: Varanasi & Azamgarh and Prayagraj & Mirzapur. Here, a total of 50.17 lakh smart meters will be installed. The project value for Prayagraj & Mirzapur is Rs 2,386.72 crore, and for Varanasi & Azamgarh, it is Rs 2,736.65 crore (inclusive of GST) in both cases. The implementation and operation timelines mirror those of Dakshinanchal.
