India aims for 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, with distribution companies (discoms) essential for integrating renewable energy. This transition introduces two-way power flows and complicates operations, as solar and wind generation variability impacts grid stability.

Discoms are investing in improved forecasting, digital systems, and energy storage to manage these challenges. Policy support at various levels aims to enhance decentralized generation, while the role of consumers is becoming increasingly prominent in the distribution network.
