Time of Day (ToD) meters, also known as Smart Meters of MSEDCL
However, MSEDCL executive engineer Jagdish Bodke of the Kalyan East division said the department had issued three notices to the societies before serving the 24-hour disconnection warning, requesting access for smart meter installation. However, even after the 24-hour deadline, we have not disconnected their electricity supply. Titled ‘24-Hour Notice for Disconnection of Electricity Supply due to Denial of Access for Smart Meter Replacement’, the communication cites Sections 55 and 163 of the Electricity Act, 2003, and the Central Electricity Authority’s (CEA) Installation and Operation of Meters Amendment Regulations.
We are willing to clarify all their doubts regarding smart meters and would like to replace the existing meters only after addressing their concerns,” Bodke said. “The residents have locked the meter boxes and are not allowing our teams access. Despite repeated notices, we have not received a response.
MSEDCL officials and contractors visited the residence of Indraneel Society chairman Amey Parkar on Friday afternoon and handed over the notice to his family members, as he was away at work, according to society office-bearers.
