India Energy Stack Taskforce Reviews Version 0.2 Strategy

23 Dec 2025 CW Team

During the earlier meeting, the Taskforce had aligned on positioning the India Energy Stack as India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) for the power sector, anchored in modularity, interoperability, standards-led design and real-world implementability. Building on this foundation, Version 0.2 of the Strategy document places a stronger emphasis on execution by proposing the development of IES through complete “use case packages”.

The updated strategy introduces a structured framework for prioritising early use cases, maps existing national digital platforms relevant to the power sector and strengthens the data governance approach. It also outlines the rationale for a National Power Sector Data Policy to support secure, standardised and trusted data sharing across the ecosystem.

The meeting was chaired by Ram Sewak Sharma, Chairman, IES Taskforce, and attended by Pradeep Kumar Pujari, Vice Chair, IES Taskforce, along with senior representatives from REC Limited, power utilities, industry bodies, think tanks and the Ministry of Power.

Speaking at the meeting, Jitendra Srivastava, Chairman and Managing Director, REC Limited, said, “The India Energy Stack represents a transformational step towards building a unified, trusted, and future-ready digital foundation for India’s power sector. Version 0.2 reflects the Taskforce’s collective wisdom and a strong shift from concept to execution.”

The Version 0.2 Architecture document sharpens focus on the trust and security framework of IES, including digital identity, verifiable credentials, secure APIs, auditability and policy-as-code. To demonstrate practical adoption, pilot DISCOMs have been invited to implement inter-state peer-to-peer power trading using the defined specifications.

The India Energy Stack project is targeted for completion by July 2026.
