GURGRAM. The Ministry of Power convened the India Energy Stack (IES) Taskforce in New Delhi on November 24, 2025, to accelerate the development of a unified Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) for the nation’s power sector. Led by senior experts including Dr. R. S. Sharma, Sh. Pramod Verma, and Sh. Pradeep Kumar Pujari, the meeting focused on reviewing the draft IES Strategy and Architecture Documents (version 0.1). REC Limited, serving as the Nodal Agency with FSR Global as Knowledge Partner, emphasized that the guidance received will strengthen the initiative, which aims to build a secure, interoperable digital backbone for the entire energy value chain.
IES to Enable Open, Integrated, Future-Ready Energy Systems
The Taskforce discussed how the IES will serve as a transformative DPI—similar to Aadhaar and UPI—by connecting stakeholders, enabling open data exchange, and breaking sectoral silos through common standards, open APIs, and federated registries. These capabilities are expected to enhance DISCOM efficiency, boost renewable integration, support green energy markets, and deliver consumer-centric services. Inputs from the meeting will guide document refinement and the launch of the pilot phase, with monthly Taskforce reviews planned. The IES project is targeted for completion by July 2026.
Shri Jitendra Srivastava said the meeting marks an important step toward building a unified, future-ready digital backbone for India’s energy sector. He added that the Taskforce’s guidance will strengthen the IES framework and guide its refinement and pilot phase.
