A report by AESL showed Tamil Nadu as one of its key target states for the project, with the highest number of meters to be installed among states and with the initial budgetary support under the Union government's Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) expected to be around ₹19,000 crore.

AESL has emerged as the L1 bidder in the first package of the project, which is in the financial bid opening stage as per the state government's official website for tenders. Officials, however, said a final decision on the award of the contract is yet to be made.
