Annual Report and Accounts 2025 .......14 Aug 2025 14:10
...... update for India, provided by John Cronin - Group CEO:-
India Market.
" India's smart electricity landscape, entered a decisive phase in FY25, marked by strong policy backing and growing private sector participation. With over 13 million smart meters installed during the year, the country still has some way to go toward achieving its ambitious target of 250 million meters ( which we understand is likely to increase to 330 million ). As the Government considers extending the RDSS deadline to FY27-28, the focus is now shifting to full-scale execution - integrating systems, enhancing consumer engagement and delivering measurable gains in billing efficiency and loss reduction. While challenges around scale and co-ordination remain, India's power sector is firmly advancing toward a smarter, more resilient grid."
Key highlights in the market:
" Current Progress: As at the end of March 2025, roughly 23.9 million smart meters were installed across India, which is slightly less than 10% of the original 250 million target. Despite lower than expected deployments and therefore revenue during the year, momentum picked up towards the end of FY25, with 13.4 million meters installed in the full financial year. We have seen a significant increase in our shipments of modules, in the first three months of FY26.
" The programme has not yet taken off, in several states. Not a single consumer smart meter has been installed in Karnataka, while Kerala has installed only 805, to date. Bihar and Assam have led in deployments. Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh, are among the better performing states. Haryana, Maharashtra and Gujarat, have seen moderate progress."
Good afternoon all,
As we have already been informed, CyanConnode are looking to give a 3 monthly update, from now on, to keep share-holders more updated with the installation of projects and CyanConnode news in general. This sends an encouraging message of the progress that is expected, with smart meter projects, for the near future.
So as well as an Interim Update and a Full Year Update, we should be looking for further updates during October and March, which should keep share-holders more updated, as some positive news, hopefully unfolds.
Good Luck all.
LTI.
