The PG electricity billing problem

Paying guest, hostel, and co-living operators lose revenue every month to manual billing, shared-meter disputes, and tenants who delay or skip electricity payments. Without room-wise visibility and prepaid collection, profit leakage is hard to stop.

How Encharge solves PG electricity management

Encharge is India's prepaid electricity and bill collection platform built for shared living. Tenants recharge before they use power; Enmate room-wise meters track every unit; owners get 100% collection and auto-settlement within 24–48 hours.

  • Room-wise prepaid submetering with Enmate

  • Tenant app for recharge, balance, and usage history

  • Owner dashboard for floors, rooms, and common-area split

  • Auto-settlement — collections credited to your account

  • Transparent common-area billing (building total minus room totals)

Hardware for complete PG deployments

Enmate handles room-level single-phase metering. EnPro measures the main three-phase incomer for building total and common-area reconciliation. Water motor controller and DG efficiency tracker help manage shared infrastructure where needed.
