Abstract

The article examines the pivotal role of cybersecurity in the digital transformation of India's energy infrastructure. It explores the tension between enhanced operational efficiency through digital technologies (Smart Grid, RES, IoT) and the increased vulnerability to cyberattacks. The study traces the evolution of India's cybersecurity regulatory framework and institutional mechanisms, highlighting challenges posed by import dependence and supply chain risks. Based on this analysis, it proposes a holistic strategy integrating robust regulation, national technological development, and international collaboration.
