02 The Market Opportunity

⚠ Current Gap in HPL's AMI Stack

  • No in-house MDM - DISCOMs must source MDM separately from competitors (Fluent Grid, Esyasoft, BCITS, Genus, Secure)
  • No WFM/Asset Management - No meter lifecycle tracking from procurement to decommission
  • No Energy Audit capability - Cannot calculate AT&C losses at DT/feeder level
  • No consumer appliance insights - No NILM capability to show "Your AC used 35% of your bill"
  • Regulatory pressure - 100% local content mandate from Jan 2025 for MDM/HES
  • Multi-HES challenge - Each tender has ~3 vendors with different HES/API formats

✓ What This Proposal Delivers

  • Full AMI stack - Meters + HES + MDM + WFM = Complete AMISP solution
  • WFM/Asset Management - Full 9-stage meter lifecycle (procurement to decommission)
  • Energy Audit Module - AT&C loss calculation at DT/feeder level
  • NILM (AI) - Appliance load disaggregation, consumer energy insights
  • 3 Mobile Apps - Consumer App, O&M App, Utility App
  • Multi-HES Adapter Framework - Configurable OBIS codes per vendor

03 Our Solution: MDM Platform

We will build a complete Meter Data Management platform tailored to Indian smart metering requirements, fully compliant with RDSS specifications. MDM is the brain - Workflow Automation (WFA) is driven by MDM, not HES. The platform integrates with multiple HES vendors via configurable adapters and delivers comprehensive data management, validation, analytics, and reporting capabilities that DISCOMs need for effective smart meter operations.

04 How It Works

MDM is the brain - orchestrating data from multiple HES vendors, driving workflow automation, powering AI appliance insights (NILM), and delivering validated data to all stakeholders through web dashboards and 3 mobile apps.

A Data Flow: Multi-HES to Unified MDM

1
Multi-HES Ingestion

Each tender has ~3 HES vendors. Our adapter normalizes data formats and OBIS codes from all vendors.

2
VEE Processing

Data validated, estimated (if missing), edited per configurable business rules per DISCOM.

3
Aggregation & Analytics

Energy audit at DT/feeder level, AT&C loss calculation, trend analysis, exception flagging.

4
Multi-Channel Delivery

Data delivered to billing systems, web dashboards, and 3 mobile apps in real-time.

B Asset Lifecycle: 9-Stage WFM Workflow

1. Procurement
2. Warehouse
3. Site Survey
4. Installation
5. Commissioning
6. Active
7. Maintenance
8. Replacement
9. Decommission

C 3 Mobile Apps: Complete Stakeholder Coverage

📱 Consumer App
  • View bills & payment history
  • Prepaid balance & recharge
  • Raise complaints & track status
  • Outage notifications
🔧 O&M App (Field Ops)

🔗 Multi-Tenant Architecture KEY

Shared cloud infrastructure across DISCOMs with complete data isolation per tenant. Cost-effective deployment where multiple DISCOMs share infrastructure while maintaining separate data boundaries. Each DISCOM gets its own isolated database, user management, WFM configurations, Multi-HES adapter settings, and shared NILM ML models that improve accuracy with more data across tenants.

☁ Cloud (Multi-Tenant SaaS)

Best for: Quick deployment, cost sharing across DISCOMs

  • GCP India: Mumbai (asia-south1), Delhi (asia-south2)
  • Also supports AWS/Azure India regions
  • Shared infrastructure, isolated data per DISCOM
  • Automatic scaling per tenant load
  • NILM models improve with shared data
  • 99.9% SLA uptime
  • Mobile apps via Play Store / App Store

🏢 On-Premise MANDATORY OPTION

Best for: DISCOMs that do not accept cloud

  • Many utilities mandate on-premise deployment
  • Full stack in DISCOM's data center
  • Complete data sovereignty
  • Kubernetes-based for easy maintenance
  • NILM engine runs locally
  • One-time setup + Annual Maintenance
  • Mobile apps connect to on-prem backend

🛡 Hybrid

Best for: Sensitive data on-prem, analytics in cloud

  • Core MDM + WFM on-premise
  • NILM in cloud for better accuracy
  • Analytics & reporting in cloud
  • Secure data pipeline between sites
  • Mobile apps work with both layers

📱 Mobile App Distribution

Consumer App

Published to Play Store & App Store. White-labeled per DISCOM. Includes NILM appliance insights.

O&M App

Enterprise distribution to field crews. MDM-managed deployment for Android devices.

Utility App

Internal distribution to DISCOM staff. Role-based access synced with web platform.
