India Plans Indigenous Development of Power Sector SCADA Systems by 2030
The Indian government plans to end imports of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for the power sector by 2030 to reduce foreign dependence and enhance cybersecurity. The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has proposed a phased roadmap targeting indigenous development of SCADA software and hardware by 2028-29, supported by pilot projects and government funding. This move aims to strengthen control over critical power infrastructure following cybersecurity threats during the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict.
