The collaboration aims to leverage Gujarat’s progressive policy framework and ISGF’s technical expertise to accelerate pilot projects and large-scale deployment of smart and digital energy solutions across the state. The partnership is expected to play a pivotal role in strengthening Gujarat’s power infrastructure while supporting its transition toward a resilient, digital, and future-ready energy ecosystem.
As part of the implementation framework, ISGF will work closely with R.J. Vala, Chief Engineer (Technical), GUVNL, to advance strategic initiatives focused on grid modernisation, renewable integration, and power sector digitalisation in Gujarat.
