11 Mar 2024 Evaluate

RMC Switchgears has expanded its manufacturing capacity for SMC Smart Metering Enclosures mainly to cater for the rising demand from Advanced Metering Infrastructure for Smart Payment (AMISP) Projects. The enhancement will enlarge RMC's production capacity by additional 300,000 enclosures annually. The projected capital expenditure for this expansion is estimated between Rs 7-10 crore, which will be funded through the company’s own reserves and term loans. 

In response to the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme's (RDSS) updated mandates, which promote the deployment of smart meters through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, RMC is investing in being well-placed for providing state-of-the-art smart metering enclosure solutions. Under the scheme, the AMISP will be responsible for supplying, maintaining, and operating the smart metering system post-installation. This includes an initial upfront payment for partial capital costs, followed by subsequent payments over a 7 to 10-year period based on performance metrics, ensuring the AMISP's accountability throughout the project's duration. RMC gears up to support the Central government initiative as anticipated installation of 115 lakh enclosures (Only DTC Meter’s where SMC Enclosures are mandatory) in the next 2-3 years as per the scheme, the company is committed to delivering seamless and efficient smart metering solutions in alignment with the RDSS mandates. Out of which so far government has placed order of approximately 12 lakh enclosures. 

RMC Switchgears is primarily engaged in the business of ‘Switchgear Engineering’, ‘ECI contracts for power distribution / transmission sector’ and ‘PVC Marble and Sold Surface’.
