India's power grid is set to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to improve grid management, enable predictive maintenance and forecast outages ahead of time, according to Union ministers Manohar Lal Khattar and Pralhad Joshi. Speaking at a brainstorming conclave organized by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Khattar highlighted the need to introduce AI and optimize power assets, stating that the government is exploring this avenue.

The government's vision is of an AI-enabled power grid that can accurately forecast electricity demand and renewable generation, improve grid management, undertake predictive maintenance and identify power outages in advance.
