The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has released draft regulations for Cyber Security in the Power Sector, 2025, aimed at bolstering defenses against cyber threats within this critical infrastructure. Central to the regulations is the establishment of the Computer Security Incident Response Team – Power (CSIRT–Power), tasked with managing and analyzing cyber incidents. The regulations mandate each entity to appoint a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) responsible for reporting incidents and implementing security measures, including annual cyber security audits. This initiative underscores India’s commitment to securing its power sector, which is vital for national stability and economic growth, reflecting a proactive approach to mitigate rising cyber risks in the energy domain.
