Bhopal, Madhya Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd. (MPMKVVCL) has provided substantial relief to smart meter consumers under the Time of Day (ToD) scheme, totaling over Rs 4 crore in concessions during October.
Specifically, more than 11,500 consumers in the Bhopal Rural area benefited from Rs 24 lakh reduction. Managing Director Kshitij Singhal explained that the benefit is a 20% discount on energy charges applied during “Solar Hours” (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM). This incentive applies to domestic, non-domestic, public water, street light, and low-tension industrial consumers with sanctioned loads up to 10 kilowatts. Singhal urged customers to adopt smart meters, highlighting their benefits in enabling precise real-time billing and helping consumers manage consumption efficiently for energy saving and environmental protection.
