The road ahead: India’s bold vision for a better and more sustainable grid

Watch the full episode

India is building a grid for greatness. It's laying a strong foundation for a power grid that’s not only reliable and efficient but also sustainable, innovative, and future-ready.

What does it look like exactly? It’s an energy network that:

  • Runs on clean energy. A shift from traditional energy sources to renewable power like solar, wind, and hydro.
  • Is SF6-free. This means no harmful greenhouse gases will be used in key components like high-voltage switchgear.
  • Prioritizes decarbonization. Actively reducing carbon footprint of energy generation and distribution, helping India meet its ambitious climate targets and becoming a leader in sustainability.

In this episode, we’re diving into the driving force of this remarkable transformation in India together with Rakesh Dwivedi, Head of Hub Business Unit South Asia. Tune in!
