PFC Consulting Ltd (PFCCL) has begun the process of empanelment of Advance Metering Infrastructure Service Providers (AMISP) for projects under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS).
PFCCL has been designated as one of the project implementation agencies (PIA) for smart prepaid metering projects under RDSS. PFCCL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Power Finance Corporation (PFC), has been mandated to provide an indicative quote to state government/state discoms on per-meter-per-month basis.
Subsequent to their empanelment, PFCCL will select empanelled AMISPs, based on an RfP process, for prospective smart metering projects to be taken up by PFCCL.
