on the netmetering. tenders.. Is this a fait accompli for the next government? will INDIA at the national level be able to outlaw the transfer of costs of the installation of new meters to the "customer" and force conversion of these smart meters to post paid.. at least by allowing a negative balance equivalent to basic consumption. Will Adani now get money for the fancy lighting of flyovers in advance.. ? We are well and truly f...ed! The smart metering idea was originally mooted to allow you to contribute your solar power during the day to the Grid.. Now it is just a scam to take care of some guys liquidity requirements, while they take huge bank loans to finance their tender..
