·      Deliveries are scheduled to commence within the next six weeks.

·      Order book in India now over 14 million Omnimesh modules.

·      As at 31 January 2025, 3.6 million modules have been shipped with an order backlog of 10.4 million Omnimesh modules.

·      An order for 474,572 Omnimesh modules, including Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), standards-based hardware, Omnimesh Head-End Software (HES) with a perpetual license, and a comprehensive support and maintenance contract.

·      This builds on CyanConnode's initial January 2023 contract with Montecarlo, which covered 983,525 Omnimesh modules for Madhya Pradesh Poor Kshetra Vidyut Vitran Company Ltd (MPPKVVCL) in Jabalpur, aimed at enhancing the state's power distribution and metering infrastructure.

2.    Nagpur Smart Metering Project (Maharashtra):

John Cronin, Executive Chairman of CyanConnode, commented:

"I am delighted to announce these significant follow-on orders from Montecarlo for prestigious smart metering projects in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh and Nagpur, Maharashtra. Our earlier deployments in Madhya Pradesh, particularly in Indore, set industry benchmarks and became case studies for Distribution Companies (DISCOMs) across India, achieving returns on investment within two and a half years.

Securing repeat orders underscores the proven effectiveness of our cutting-edge, standards-based technology and highlights our deep expertise within India's rapidly growing smart metering ecosystem. With these projects now secured in Madhya Pradesh and in Maharashtra, our Omnimesh RF mesh network technology continues to strengthen the backbone of India's smart metering infrastructure.

We work well with Montecarlo and we are confident this collaboration will continue to flourish, further enhancing CyanConnode's leading position in the industry."
