Utilities prioritise cyber resilience as India upgrades electricity networks

India’s electricity utilities are increasing cybersecurity investments as power grids become more digital and interconnected. Officials said the adoption of smart meters, real-time monitoring, and renewable energy integration has expanded the sector’s cyber risk surface. In response, utilities are strengthening threat detection, access controls, and incident response frameworks. The effort aims to protect critical infrastructure, prevent disruptions, and ensure grid stability as modernisation accelerates across regions.
