BESCOM distributes power to eight districts in the Karnataka state, including the city of Bangalore.

Landis+Gyr India CEO Sandip Mukherjee said, "Landis+Gyr’s selection for this high volume meter award is the culmination of more than ten years of dedicated performance and prompt service support to BESCOM."

The company has recently secured a contract from India-based West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company (WBSEDCL) to deliver over one million digital meters.

Landis+Gyr Asia Pacific executive vice president Oliver Iltisberger said for the second time in less than a month, the company has been selected for a high volume meter contract with a India-based company.

"Meeting customer expectations with high quality devices has been a clear and positive differentiator for us in this market," Iltisberger said.

Landis+Gyr is an independent growth platform of the Toshiba and 40% owned by the Innovation Network Corporation of Japan.

The company operates in 30 countries in five continents with 5,200 employees.
