Mumbai, December 15, 2025: Apraava Energy, India’s leading integrated energy solutions provider, has received national recognition for its pioneering Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) solution aimed at building data-driven, consumer-centric, and future-ready energy solutions for India. The recognition was conferred at the Ministry of Power’s ‘National Conference on the Use of AI and ML in the Power Distribution Sector’ under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS). The two-day conference demonstrated cutting-edge use cases to drive innovation, improve operational efficiencies, and enhance consumer satisfaction across DISCOMs in India. The runner-up award was presented to the Apraava Energy team by the Hon’ble Union Minister for Power and Housing and Urban Affairs, Shri Manohar Lal Khattar.
Nearly 200 solutions were presented by the DISCOMs, AMISPs (Advanced Metering Infrastructure Service Providers), Technology Solution Providers (TSPs) and Home Automation Solution Providers (HASPs). Under the AMISP category, Apraava Energy showcased its solution, Discom GPT (Grid.), developed in partnership with WorkOnGrid. The next-generation solution demonstrated how behavioural demand response and AI-based operational automation can meaningfully enhance consumer experience while improving power grid efficiency. By integrating generative AI, advanced machine learning and a robust data architecture, Grid. unlocks new levels of value, efficiency and reliability in the power distribution sector, setting the course for smarter decisions, agile responses and transformative change across India’s evolving digital energy landscape.
Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, Managing Director, Apraava Energy, said, “Grid. represents Apraava’s effort to reimagine the future of power distribution for India.
