New cybersecurity initiatives enhance resilience in India's power sector.

The Indian power sector is advancing its cybersecurity resilience through initiatives such as the establishment of the POWERGRID Centre of Excellence at IISc, Bengaluru, and the formation of a Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT-Power) by the Ministry of Power. The Central Electricity Authority has issued comprehensive guidelines aimed at enhancing governance and security protocols across the sector. Furthermore, regional entities like the Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited are implementing stringent cybersecurity measures, leading to zero reported breaches in operational systems over the last five years. These developments underscore the government’s commitment to safeguarding critical energy infrastructure against evolving cyber threats, which is vital for national security and operational integrity.
