The Ministry of Power today announced the release of Version 0.3 of the India Energy Stack (IES) Architecture and Strategy documents, marking another step in the development of a digital public infrastructure for India’s power sector.

 

The India Energy Stack aims to create a common digital framework that helps different stakeholders — including utilities, system operators, market participants, innovators, and consumers — securely exchange data and interact using shared standards and protocols. This approach is intended to improve coordination, transparency, and efficiency across the energy ecosystem.

 

The updated Version 0.3 documents reflect ongoing work to design, test, and refine the framework through phased development and consultation. The IES initiative is being advanced through ecosystem collaboration, pilot implementation, and eventual national rollout to support a more reliable, flexible, and future-ready power system.

 

Importantly, the India Energy Stack is expected to benefit consumers and prosumers by giving them greater control and participation in the energy ecosystem. Through consent-based data sharing and interoperable digital services, consumers can access improved energy services, compare offerings, and participate in programmes such as demand response or EV charging. Prosumers — who both produce and consume electricity — can more easily monetise surplus energy, verify transactions, and engage in energy markets. By enabling trusted measurement, verification, and settlement at scale, the framework can help households, businesses, and community groups participate confidently and benefit economically from their energy choices.

 

The meeting reviewing Version 0.3 was attended by Taskforce Chairman Dr. Ram Sewak Sharma (Former Director General, UIDAI; Former CEO, National Health Authority; Former Chairman, TRAI); Pradeep Kumar Pujari (Vice Chair, Distinguished Fellow, FSR Global; Former Chairman, CERC; Former Secretary, Power); Pramod Verma (Co-founder, FIDE; Former Chief Architect, Aadhaar); Abhishek Ranjan (CEO, BRPL); Vikram Gandotra (President-Elect, IEEMA); Vikram Dhaka (Representative, MNRE); Swetha Ravi Kumar (Executive Director, FSR Global); Dr. Rahul Tongia (Senior Fellow, CSEP); Reji Pillai (President, ISGF); and Pranav Tayal (Director, Ministry of Power), among other dignitaries.

 

The initiative is steered by REC Limited as the Nodal Agency, working closely with the Ministry of Power and supported by FSR Global as the Knowledge Partner. The India Energy Stack (IES) project is scheduled to be completed by July 2026.
