CEA Committee Proposes Roadmap for Indigenous SCADA Systems in India

The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has proposed a phased roadmap for the development and deployment of indigenous Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for India’s power sector. The initiative is aimed at reducing dependence on imported technology while strengthening cybersecurity, energy security and the resilience of critical power-grid infrastructure.

The CEA committee’s report on the “Formulation of Trajectory of Indigenisation of SCADA System” outlines an indigenisation programme covering 38 software modules and 25 hardware components. The committee has indicated that India has the technical capability to achieve the targeted localisation during 2026-27 to 2028-29, provided adequate funding, testing infrastructure and implementation support are made available.

Under the proposed roadmap, the development of core SCADA and communication systems would begin from 2026-27, followed by more advanced functions for grid monitoring, generation management, power-flow planning and security assessment. More specialised functions are expected to be developed by 2028-29.

The committee has also recommended establishing a dedicated testing platform within two years with government funding. The facility would allow indigenous SCADA modules to be evaluated under simulated grid conditions and assessed for cybersecurity performance before wider deployment.

Pilot projects have been proposed at State Load Despatch Centres (SLDCs), Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDCs) and the National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC). Indigenous SCADA and Energy Management System (EMS) software and hardware, including Remote Terminal Units, servers and workstations, would be tested alongside existing systems in real-time operating environments. SLDC Odisha has offered to provide a testing environment for the initiative.

The report has further proposed creating a dedicated team within Grid India to oversee development, project management and future upgrades. It has also called for a suitable funding mechanism, potentially through government grants or another sustainable model, to support research, development, testing and implementation.

The proposed roadmap comes ahead of the government’s plan to stop imports of SCADA systems for the power sector beyond 2030. The move is expected to encourage the development of domestic technology capabilities and reduce vulnerabilities associated with foreign technology and supply-chain dependence.

The CEA officially listed the committee’s report on the indigenisation trajectory of SCADA systems on August 24, 2026.

Gujarat Inject (Kerala) (GIKL) has entered into a business partnership with England-based Storenergy to jointly explore opportunities in the Renewable Energy Storage Technology (REST) space in India.

As part of the agreement, the two companies will work together to identify, evaluate and develop potential REST opportunities in the Indian market. The partnership is aimed at enabling GIKL to participate in the growing renewable energy storage segment and explore related business opportunities in the country.

Renewable energy storage is increasingly gaining attention as industries and energy users look for more efficient ways to store and manage energy. Against this backdrop, the partnership brings together GIKL’s interest in the Indian market with Storenergy’s capabilities in the sector.

Commenting on the development, Murli Shivshankaran Nair, Managing Director, Gujarat Inject (Kerala), said, “India’s energy sector is going through an important phase of transition, and energy storage is expected to become an increasingly relevant part of this journey. Our partnership with Storenergy gives us an opportunity to explore the Renewable Energy Storage System segment in a focused manner. We look forward to identifying meaningful opportunities together and building a strong presence in this emerging area.”

The agreement provides a framework for both companies to collaborate on suitable opportunities. Commercial terms for individual projects or opportunities will be finalised at a later stage. The transaction is not a related-party transaction.

KPI Green Energy Limited (“KPI Green Energy” or “the Company”), a leading Gujarat-based renewable energy company and part of KP Group, has energized 630+ MW DC of capacity over the past three months across its IPP – Independent Power Producer and EPC – Engineering, Procurement, Construction businesses – the highest-ever capacity energized by the Company in a single quarter since inception.

This milestone spans a diversified mix of IPP assets and projects executed under the Company’s EPC vertical, underscoring the scale, speed and consistency of KPI Green Energy’s project execution engine. It marks yet another step forward in the Company’s journey toward its stated ambition of scaling capacity in line with KP Group’s broader target of over 10 GW of renewable capacity by 2030 and reinforces its position as one of India’s fastest-growing renewable energy platforms.

The Company has energized more capacity in this single three-month period than in the cumulative ~17 years since its inception through December 2024, when total energized capacity stood at 533 MW across both IPP and EPC segments.

Dr. Faruk G. Patel, Chairman and Managing Director, KPI Green Energy, said, ” Crossing 630+ MW DC of energization in a single quarter is the highest-ever pace of capacity addition in our history, and a clear reflection of the execution capability we have built across both our IPP and EPC businesses. Every megawatt we energize brings us closer to our long-term capacity goals and to India’s energy transition targets. We remain focused on scaling responsibly, strengthening our annuity income base, and delivering sustained value to all our stakeholders.”

With this achievement, KPI Green Energy continues to strengthen its operational portfolio and order-book conversion, positioning the Company for sustained growth as it advances toward its long-term capacity targets in India’s rapidly expanding renewable energy sector.
