HPL Electric and Power produces a diverse range of electric equipment, including metering solutions, switchgear, lighting equipment and wires and cables, and caters to consumer and institutional customers in the electrical equipment industry.
Gautam Seth, joint managing director of HPL, said, "The receipt of these orders reflects our alignment with the government's ongoing efforts to implement smart meters nationwide.

Our high acceptability in terms of performance and quality with leading AMISPs demonstrates HPL's strong positioning in the smart meter market. This achievement is not just a measure of our current standing but also a promising indicator of the potential opportunities that lie ahead in the evolving landscape of smart metering in India."
