India’s smart metering boom: How decentralized IoT is reinventing the power grid
The Indian power system is evolving faster than most global peers. Electricity demand is rising. Rooftop solar, electric mobility, and distributed generation are accelerating. The grid, once designed for predictable one-direction flows, is becoming a dynamic, decentralised organism. To manage it, India requires data that is just as distributed as the energy sources feeding the system. This is where decentralised RF mesh networks have begun to play an important role.
