MNRE Urges States to Adopt M2M SIM-Based Remote Monitoring for Rooftop Solar Under PM Surya Ghar
MNRE has urged state and joint electricity regulators to adopt M2M SIM-based remote monitoring for rooftop solar generation under the PM Surya Ghar scheme, following Odisha’s move to recognise inverter-based real-time data transmission as an alternative to physical solar generation meters.

The move follows the Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission’s (OERC) recent amendment order, which recognises real-time measurement and transmission of generation data through inverter-based communication devices, dongles, or data loggers equipped with M2M SIM communication protocol as a valid alternative to physical solar generation meters.
By enabling real-time monitoring of rooftop solar output through digital communication systems, OERC’s order eliminates the need for additional solar meters — thereby reducing installation costs for consumers and simplifying system deployment. The Commission’s decision also aligns state-level net metering regulations with MNRE’s earlier directive issued on July 21, 2025, mandating M2M SIM-based monitoring for systems installed under the scheme.
According to MNRE, adoption of such M2M SIM-based communication protocol for real-time monitoring and tracking of solar generation is not only required from cybersecurity point of view, but it will help in taking measures for grid stability and security and also going forward, handling the P2P trading, EV to Grid mechanisms smoothly.
