The transition to a sustainable, electrified future is critical for addressing climate change, and DISCOMS play a pivotal role in this journey. However, they face significant challenges, including poor financial health, voltage stability issues, and inefficiencies in electricity distribution.

A comprehensive, integrated approach is needed to overcome these barriers, combining advanced technologies like smart grids, decentralised power systems, and modern grid infrastructure. By focusing on performance outcomes rather than just budget allocations, policymakers can ensure better access to the right technologies, promoting collaboration and innovation. This will enhance grid resilience, reduce energy losses, and facilitate the seamless integration of renewable energy.
