Privatisation of Discoms boosting demand for advanced switchgear solutions
March 2025
|EPR Magazine (Electrical & Power Review)
Modern switchgear, including automated and intelligent systems, optimises load management, improves fault detection and reduces energy wastage.

Piyush Garg Director Balaji Switchgears
The privatisation of electricity distribution companies (Discoms) in India is set to change the power sector by driving efficiency, reducing losses and improving service quality. Modern switchgear technologies, including digital and automated systems, play a crucial role in this transition by enhancing grid reliability, optimising load management and ensuring seamless integration of renewable energy. As Discoms focus on infrastructure modernisation, advanced switchgear solutions will be essential for maintaining grid stability and meet evolving regulatory and consumer demands. However, affordability remains a key concern requiring manufacturers to balance innovation, cost-effectiveness and sustainability to support a reliable and efficient power distribution network. EPR brings you key insights while in talks with Piyush Garg.
How will the privatisation of Discoms in India drive demand for modern switchgear solutions?
