The growing airport security market – predicted to grow at a 9.3 percent clip annually until 2023 –represents an opportunity for continuous, profitable work for integrators.

Within renewables, much of the focus of the government has been on solar and wind. Recently, bids for solar and wind power projects have seen tariffs reducing to record lows: 2.44 rupees per kWh and 2.43 rupees per kWh, respectively. The lowest solar tariffs are even lower than the average tariff of 3.2 rupees per kWh of NTPC Limited, India’s largest thermal power producer. The reduced prices of equipment and lower cost of financing are the major reasons for such a reduction in tariffs. The Tariff Policy has given further impetus to the renewable sector in India. It encourages states to procure power from renewable energy sources through competitive bidding to keep the tariff low.

The measurement circuits enable precise metering of each lamp’s consumption, thus avoiding inaccurate billing based on estimations. Besides, a meter installed in the supply station permits performing balance metering and helps to detect leakages or fraud attempts.
