Grid Controller of India Limited (Grid-India) has issued an Expression of Interest (EoI) to domestic companies for developing indigenous Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Energy Management System (EMS) software. The initiative aims to strengthen India's technological self-reliance in power grid management, with funding of up to ₹10 crore for each of the selected five developers. Responses to the EoI are due by November 5, 2026, and technical presentations are scheduled for December 5. This effort is part of a broader strategy to replace imported SCADA systems with domestic alternatives by 2030, as outlined in the draft National Electricity Policy 2026. The initiative is supported by multiple government ministries and aims to enhance operational reliability in the electricity network. The Central Electricity Authority has also laid out a roadmap for the indigenization of 38 software modules and 25 hardware items over the next three years.
