From power lines to smart lines — digitalisation is India’s new energy lifeline.

Digitalisation Powers India’s Energy Transition — Smart Grids for a Smarter Future

India’s power sector is undergoing a historic transformation, with total installed capacity reaching 476 GW as of June 2025 — nearly half from non-fossil sources. As renewables and distributed energy resources rise, the nation’s grid faces increasing complexity and operational challenges. Experts emphasise that digitalisation is now essential to ensure stability, reliability, and resilience. Intelligent systems powered by AI and predictive analytics enable outage prevention, self-healing networks, and efficient asset management. Siemens’ hybrid power plant projects and smart infrastructure initiatives showcase how integrated digital systems can balance solar, wind, and hydro resources effectively. For utilities and DISCOMs, the path forward lies in grid modernisation, real-time data integration, intelligent DER management, and robust cybersecurity. As India accelerates toward clean energy leadership, building intelligent, adaptive, and secure grids will be crucial to powering the nation’s sustainable, all-electric future.
