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.
