The Business Challenge
Power discoms generate millions of billing and consumption records every month. Hidden within this vast volume of data are abnormal consumption patterns, meter tampering, billing irregularities, and electricity theft that directly impact revenue.
Traditional investigation methods rely heavily on manual analysis and field experience, making fraud detection reactive, inconsistent, and resource-intensive. As a result, suspicious consumers often remain undetected for months, leading to significant revenue leakage and delayed corrective action.
Critical Operational Challenges
- Revenue leakage due to undetected electricity theft
- Difficulty analyzing millions of consumer records
- Slow manual investigations
- No prioritization of high-risk consumers
- Consumption anomalies hidden in historical data
- Delayed fraud detection and response
Traditional Investigation Workflow
Characteristics: Reactive • Time-consuming • Limited Coverage
The EDIS Fraud Analytics Solution
Proven AI-Driven Revenue Protection: By analyzing massive volumes of consumer billing, consumption, and operational data, EDIS empowers power discoms to proactively identify suspicious behavior and stop revenue loss at the source.
Through real-world field deployments across DISCOM networks, the platform evaluates historical trends, peer behavior, seasonal variations, and multi-factor risk metrics to deliver explainable, actionable intelligence to revenue recovery teams.

Field Investigation Case Study
The following case highlights how EDIS successfully pinpointed high-probability revenue leakage during active DISCOM deployment, leading to targeted field verification and successful recovery.
Consumer Risk Assessment Profile (Field Execution)
AI Findings & Field Verification Results
- Identified 87% unexplained reduction in billed consumption
- Ruled out seasonal/operational downtime through climate & peer correlation
- Neighboring commercial units showed consistent energy draw
- High confidence fraud alert dispatched directly to field inspection queue
- Verified meter bypass upon site inspection and initiated penalty billing
