Strengthening the Backbone of India’s Energy Systems through Evidence and Insights
Strengthening the Backbone of India’s Energy Systems through Evidence and Insights
India’s power sector is at the heart of its development journey, and transforming it is key to achieving a clean and resilient future. Our work is demonstrating how data-driven insights combined with institutional partnerships can turn sectoral challenges into opportunities for innovation and reform.
From making power sector data accessible, to deep-diving into distribution reforms, analysing peak demand, and developing the Power Outlook Series, our work ensures that every reform is evidence based and aligned with India’s energy transition goals.
India Climate and Energy Dashboard
The India Climate and Energy Dashboard (ICED), developed by Vasudha Foundation in partnership with NITI Aayog, is a dynamic open-source platform that centralises India’s energy and climate data. It provides single-window access to comprehensive datasets, integrates multiple government sources and offers near real-time insights. By combining granular details across generation, transmission, and distribution, from unit-level power plant data to state and DISCOM performance along with other energy, climate, economic and demographic indicators, ICED enables policymakers, researchers, academia, and industry leaders to track India’s clean energy transition and monitor progress on climate targets.
We have developed a rich body of research and analysis focused on India’s power sector. Our publications explore the evolving dynamics of energy systems, highlighting challenges and opportunities across policy, markets, infrastructure, and institutions. They combine technical expertise with accessible analysis, serving as a knowledge backbone for policymakers, regulators, researchers, and industry leaders. Together, these works enable informed decisions, strengthen sector performance, and guide India’s clean energy transition.
