RDSS projects


Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd (PSPCL) has issued four separate advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) tenders under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS), marking a key operational shift toward zone-wise segmentation. The tenders — South, Central, North, and West zones — invite AMI service providers on Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Transfer (DBFOOT) basis.
The consolidated rollout aims to install smart prepaid meters across Punjab, including supply, communication systems, data management, and long-term O&M. Each contract involves full lifecycle responsibility from meter integration to data-center connectivity and analytics. This structural segmentation of RDSS projects allows multiple concessionaires to execute parallel rollouts while retaining state oversight.
Unlike earlier single-package approaches, PSPCL’s new model distributes risk, accelerates implementation, and opens opportunities for regional players alongside national system integrators. The shift aligns with the Ministry of Power’s broader strategy to decentralize RDSS projects and enhance reform-linked funding disbursements.
The success of these four DBFOOT packages could position Punjab as a model for
medium-scale DISCOM modernization, influencing how other states structure similar
RDSS projects.

TRADE / INDUSTRY SYNDICATION
Energyline India notes that PSPCL has advanced its digital metering reform by splitting its AMI rollout under RDSS projects into four distinct zones — South, Central, North, and West. Each zone follows a DBFOOT model, covering meter supply, communication backbone, integration with PSPCL billing, and operations through the concession period. The change from a single statewide package to zonal segmentation alters Punjab’s competitive landscape.
Large players such as IntelliSmart, Secure Meters, L&T, and Genus may target multiple zones, while regional AMISP consortiums could focus on individual ones. This modular structure helps PSPCL balance execution speed and financial exposure, aligning with national efforts to expedite RDSS projects through decentralised bidding.
Clause adjustments now tailor scope, eligibility, and payment milestones per zone. However, the documents omit data-handling SLAs, cybersecurity norms, and payment- security mechanisms—issues that often define the sustainability of RDSS projects.
By dispersing implementation across four contracts, PSPCL aims to accelerate statewide
smart metering while ensuring performance accountability under the DBFOOT model.

SHORT / EXTERNAL TRAFFIC DRIVER
Punjab’s power utility PSPCL has launched four AMI tenders under RDSS projects, dividing the state into South, Central, North, and West zones. The DBFOOT model transfers financing and operation responsibilities to private concessionaires. The segmentation allows multiple players to execute parallel rollouts, improving risk balance and project pace across Punjab’s digital metering drive.
