Power Foundation of India (PFI) released three reports at the Distribution Utility Meet 2026, held in Jaipur on Oct. 27-28, 2026, addressing key priorities for Indiaโs power distribution sector:
๐.โ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ: ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฌ
The report assesses the real cost of renewable energy at the DISCOM periphery, including transmission charges and losses, system operation and balancing costs, battery and solar panel recycling, and carbon abatement. It urges policymakers, regulators, network planners and DISCOMs to consider overall system cost - not only generation cost - for a judicious, consumer-centric energy transition.

The report examines challenges in meeting RCOs, particularly delays linked to CTUIL. It calls for stronger coordination among renewable energy developers, CTUIL, REIAs and DISCOMs, with appropriate risk allocation to reduce project commissioning delays.

Prepared by PFI with Prayas Energy Group, the report quantifies DSM benefits in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh through FY 2030. It reviews Indiaโs policy, regulatory, institutional and market mechanisms, and proposes a state-government business case for shifting from revenue-based to capex-based subsidies, alongside regulatory interventions for DFPO.

The session was moderated by Shri Himanshu Chawla, Head โ Regulatory, PFI.
The session opened with context-setting remarks by Shri Prince Dhawan, ED, REC and IES Task Force, who outlined the India Energy Stack as a decentralised digital public infrastructure designed to facilitate secure energy data sharing. He also highlighted the RegisterโDiscoverโExchange model, standards-based interoperability and RECโs roadmap for supporting DISCOMs in adopting IES.
Shri Vibhay Kumar, Advisor โ Transmission, PFI, delivered the thematic presentation, focusing on secure data exchange and the need to build cyber-resilient digital grids.
The panel brought together experts from across the energy, technology and policy landscape:
โข Mr Teppo Hemiรค, CEO, Wirepas
โข Dr Rahul Tongia, Senior Fellow, CSEP
โข Shri Anish Kalucha, CIO and Head โ IT & Automation, Noida Power Company Ltd. (NPCL)

โข Shri NALLASIVAN C, IT Department, Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Ltd. (TNGECL)
โข Shri N. KISHOR NARANG, Founder, Narnix Technolabs
Discussions explored IES implementation and DISCOM readiness, data governance, consumer consent and privacy, cybersecurity regulations, and the protection of critical digital grid assets.
With 7.24 crore smart meters installed and 20.33 crore sanctioned under RDSS, building secure, trusted and interoperable data systems is increasingly important for Indiaโs digital power sector.
As the power sector becomes more data-driven, robust cybersecurity and responsible data exchange will be essential to building a resilient, connected and future-ready electricity ecosystem.

The 10th edition of the Distribution Utility Meet (DUM) 2026 commenced today in Jaipur, Rajasthan, bringing together power distribution utilities and sector leaders change experiences and explore solutions for energy transition, grid modernisation and digitalisation.
Power Foundation of India (PFI)is participating in the two-day event (October 27โ28, 2026) as its Knowledge Partner, bringing research-based insights to the evolving priorities of Indiaโs power distribution sector.
The inaugural session was graced by ๐๐จ๐งโ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ, ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง, ๐๐ก๐ซ๐ข ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ, while ๐๐ก๐ซ๐ข ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข, ๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฒ, ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ง๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง, delivered the inaugural address. Senior officials, including Smt. Arti Dogra, IAS, Secretary, Energy Department, Government of Rajasthan, and distinguished power sector leaders from India and abroad also participated in the proceedings.
In his special address, Dr. R.K. Tyagi, Director General, PFI, highlighted the growing investment requirements of Indiaโs power sector, driven by rising electricity demand from electrification, electric vehicles and AI-enabled data centres. He underscored the need to mobilise diverse sources of finance to meet the estimated โน200 lakh crore investment requirement for the energy transition. While acknowledging improvements in DISCOM performance, he emphasised the importance of sustaining their financial viability to support the sectorโs long-term growth.
A key highlight of the inaugural session was the release of three PFI research studies addressing critical challenges in the distribution sector:
