ABSTRACT :

Smart grids are the future of Indian power sector and would go a long way in reducing environmental impact and tackling the major challenges faced like technical and commercial losses, chronic supply-demand gap and frequent blackouts. Transforming the existing electric infrastructure through a smart grid is the way forward to ensure efficient and reliable power supply, and achieve sustainable development. The Government of India has identified and initiated a number of remarkable steps towards a more reliable, resilient, cost-effective and interactive power grid. This paper aims at providing a detailed view of the background and current status of the major smart grid initiatives and projects in India, along with a few suggestions for the successful way ahead.
