No Awareness Among Consumers on Private Digital Power Meter Sales
Consumers in Tamil Nadu remain unaware that digital power meters can be safely purchased from private dealers, who sell devices approved and priced by the Tangedco panel in Chennai.
Dealers Assure Meter Safety and Fair Pricing
Private dealers stress that their meters meet all safety standards and the prices are not arbitrary but fixed by Tangedco, ensuring fair access to energy infrastructure.
Lack of Public Information Hindering Sales
Many consumers assume that only government agencies supply digital meters, leading to limited demand for private sales. Dealers call for better public awareness campaigns to clarify this misconception.
Call for Awareness on Digital Meter Options
Industry stakeholders suggest that Tangedco and local authorities initiate information drives to educate the public on digital meter choices, pricing transparency, and safety certifications.
Encouraging Consumer Choice and Competition
Greater awareness will allow consumer choice, encourage healthy competition, and reduce delays in meter installation. Dealers argue this can enhance service quality and speed across Tamil Nadu.
