The Power department has not taken any decision to exit the Centrally assisted Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) of which smart energy meters are a component, Electricity Minister K. Krishnankutty has said.
Replying to questions in the Assembly on Wednesday, Mr. Krishnankutty said it was advisable to implement the scheme as the State would be eligible for a Central grant of ₹10,481.84 crore in two phases of the RDSS.
The State was in the process of submitting proposals for the second phase, estimated at ₹13,126.53 crore.
