The Ministry of Power on Friday (February 6, 2026) released Version 0.3 of the India Energy Stack (IES) Architecture and Strategy documents, taking another step towards building a digital public infrastructure for India’s power sector. The initiative aims to create a unified digital framework that allows utilities, system operators, market players, innovators and consumers to exchange data securely through common standards and protocols, improving coordination and transparency across the energy ecosystem.
The updated documents reflect the government’s ongoing efforts to test and refine the framework through phased consultations, pilot deployments and ecosystem collaboration. Officials said the India Energy Stack is designed to support a more reliable and future-ready power system by enabling interoperable digital services and seamless interaction among stakeholders.
A major focus of the initiative is empowering consumers and prosumers — those who both generate and use electricity. Through consent-based data sharing, users are expected to gain greater control over energy usage, access improved services, compare options and participate in programmes such as demand response and EV charging. The framework also seeks to enable households, businesses and community groups to monetise surplus power and engage more actively in energy markets through trusted measurement and settlement mechanisms.
The review meeting on Version 0.3 was attended by several senior experts and industry leaders, including Taskforce Chairman Dr. Ram Sewak Sharma, Pradeep Kumar Pujari, Pramod Verma, Abhishek Ranjan, Vikram Gandotra, Vikram Dhaka, Swetha Ravi Kumar, Dr. Rahul Tongia, Reji Pillai and Pranav Tayal, among others. REC Limited is steering the initiative as the nodal agency in coordination with the Ministry of Power, with FSR Global serving as the knowledge partner.
The India Energy Stack project, scheduled for completion by July 2026, is expected to play a key role in modernising India’s power sector and enabling smarter, data-driven energy governance.
