The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has launched a six-month door-to-door consumer verification project aimed at improving its water connection database and billing system. The initiative will involve hiring three private companies to conduct electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) verifications, meter readings, and ensure accurate bill distribution across various districts in Delhi, India. Currently, DJB services approximately 3.5 million total consumer connections, with only 2.98 million being active. An internal assessment indicated that nearly 60% of consumers do not receive physical water bills. The project, estimated to cost ₹60 crore (around $7.3 million USD), aims to create a verified digital record of all consumer details, including connection numbers and addresses. Additionally, it addresses the issue of non-revenue water, which accounts for 50-53% of the water supplied, either due to leaks or unauthorized connections. The verification process is expected to conclude by the end of May.
