About the client
Indraprastha Gas Limited
Indraprastha Gas Limited supplies piped natural gas to over two million customers across Delhi and NCR. Accurate meter reading is fundamental to the billing process for every PNG customer. At the scale IGL operates, the volume of meter reads required each billing cycle is significant, with readings coming from both customer self-service and field team visits across a geographically distributed network. Ensuring those readings are accurate, photo-verified and flowing correctly into billing systems is a direct revenue and compliance requirement.
The business challenge
Meter reading at utility scale is a data quality and logistics problem.
Readings captured incorrectly or late create billing disputes, reconciliation backlogs and customer complaints. Physical meter visits by field teams are resource-intensive and not always practical across a customer base of two million. Customer self-service for meter submission only works if the process is simple enough to complete reliably on a mobile phone and the data integrates cleanly with downstream billing.
The solution needed to serve both channels simultaneously. Field teams needed a mobile-first application with offline capability for areas with poor connectivity, photo evidence capture and direct synchronisation with billing. Customers needed a self-service flow simple enough to complete in under a minute, with instant confirmation and consumption visibility that builds confidence in the accuracy of their bill.
What Triazine Software built
One platform. Two channels. Every reading verified.
Triazine Software built the IGL Meter Reading platform across web and mobile, serving both the customer self-service channel and the field team operations channel from the same underlying system.
Photo-verified self-service submission
Customers submit meter readings through the mobile application by entering the current reading and attaching a photograph of the meter as proof. The submission triggers instant confirmation to the customer and feeds directly into IGL's billing workflow.
- Photographic proof attached to every reading at the point of capture
- Instant confirmation the moment a submission is accepted
- Direct feed into IGL's billing workflow — no re-keying
Consumption history for customers, routes for field teams
The platform maintains a complete reading history for each customer, with consumption trend analytics and usage insight dashboards that give customers visibility into their gas usage patterns over time. Field teams use the same application for their meter reading routes, with route management, offline data capture, photo evidence submission and real-time synchronisation with the central billing system built into the field workflow.
- Route management for field meter reading operations
- Offline data capture for areas with poor connectivity
- Photo evidence submission built into the field workflow
- Real-time synchronisation with the central billing system
Network-level visibility for IGL operations
The web platform gives IGL operational teams visibility into reading submission status across the customer base, outstanding reads, reconciliation flags and billing cycle performance. Consumption analytics at the network level support operational planning and capacity management across IGL's distribution infrastructure.
- Submission status across the full customer base
- Outstanding reads & reconciliation flags surfaced for action
- Network-level analytics for planning and capacity management

◈For customers and billing accuracy
Meter reading submissions from IGL's PNG customer base now flow through a digital channel with photographic proof attached to every reading. Billing accuracy has improved through verified digital submissions replacing estimates and manual entries. Customers access their consumption history and usage trends through the same application, improving billing transparency and reducing dispute-related contacts to IGL's customer service teams.
◎For field operations and reconciliation
Field teams submit readings digitally with photo evidence from the point of capture, with data synchronising to the central billing system in real time. The reconciliation effort on mismatched or estimated reads has reduced as photo-backed digital submissions create a clear audit trail for every billing cycle.
Technology landscape

The IGL Meter Reading platform was built to handle high-volume concurrent usage across a 2M+ customer base, with offline capability for field operations and real-time billing system integration.
Enterprise security & compliance
Built for secure, compliant energy operations.
Oil and gas and energy utility platforms manage operationally sensitive data across field operations, safety records, financial transactions, customer information and regulatory workflows. Every system that handles this data carries an obligation to protect it throughout its lifecycle and to maintain the audit-ready records that regulators and enterprise governance teams require.
