The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) is preparing to introduce prepaid metering across different consumer categories in a phased manner.
The State power utility estimates that the replacement of all existing meters under the high tension/extra-high tension, low tension consumer categories and system metering will cost approximately ₹9,216 crore. The KSEB caters to 1.3 crore consumers.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said that on the lines of the farmers’ protest that compelled the Centre to withdraw farm laws, a protest would be launched with like-minded political parties and organisations representing the poor to demand repeal of the new Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) and restoration of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Act (MGNREGA).
