Smart Grid Technology — Tech Evolutions

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
N/A	N/A	Direct constitutional amendments are not typically associated with specific technologies like Smart Grid. The legal framework for Smart Grid technology in India primarily derives from the Electricity Act, 2003, and subsequent policy documents and regulations issued by the Ministry of Power and regulatory commissions (e.g., CERC, SERCs). These policy and regulatory updates, rather than constitutional amendments, govern the implementation and operational aspects of Smart Grid initiatives.	The impact is seen through regulatory changes and policy directives that encourage or mandate Smart Grid components, rather than direct constitutional changes. For instance, amendments to the Electricity Rules or specific regulations on smart metering have a direct impact on deployment.
