The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) is exploring the possibility of extending the 'self-meter reading' facility to its consumers.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the KSEB had allowed consumers in containment zones to take the reading on the electricity meters on their own and submit it online for billing as KSEB staff could not access the meters.
Now, the government-run utility is looking at whether the system can be introduced on a wider scale.
