Telangana's drinking water project named 'Mission Baghiradha'

The Telangana Government today named its flagship drinking water project as 'Mission Baghiradha'.
Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao took a decision to this effect, a release from his office said.
Mindteck will be demonstrating the success of
transitioning to the smart grid over the traditional grids. The company's primary focus will be R&D integration resulting in peak load management, demand response and local intelligent power control with grid power variation for transformers.
The project entails the installation of automatic metering infrastructure (AIM), single phase and three-phase smart meters along with LT-CT and HT-CT operated-meters, data concentrator, and a meter data acquisition system (MDAS) and meter data management (MDM) for real-time data acquisition and retrieval.

Consumers under this distribution network will be able to monitor their energy usage and choose from the available power supply and tariff structure for heavy appliances through real time SMS alerts. This will enable their active participation as smart consumers--a crucial characteristic of Smart Grid Infrastructure.
Dr. Rajendra K. Pandey commented, "Mindteck's global expanse and multi-faceted experience will be assets for the Smart Distribution System Project being undertaken at the Chandapura Sub-Division. We expect that the company will leverage these assets, together with integrating the latest technologies, to demonstrate the concept of smart system architecture that leads to Smart Cities with Smart Controls."

"We are delighted to be part of this important project," commented Yusuf Lanewala, Mindteck Chairman and Managing Director. He added, "Mindteck's energy management offerings provide consumers with an in-depth understanding of their power consumption practices, and we are confident that this grid-modernisation project will go a long way toward contributing to an efficient energy infrastructure.
