About GREET

Grid Readiness for EV: Enablers and Technological developments — a national mission to assess, examine and ensure the willingness and support functions of India's power grid for large-scale EV integration and adoption.

The Challenge

Electrification needs a grid that's ready

India's push toward EV adoption brings clear environmental benefits, but mass electrification places new, time-varying demands on the distribution grid. High-power fast charging, wireless power transfer, solid-state transformers and high-density chargers are essential to meet the ambitious target of 30% EV penetration by 2030.

GREET takes an end-to-end view — coordinating the perspectives of EV owners, charging-infrastructure operators and grid operators, while respecting the physical constraints of both transportation and electrical networks. No technology advances without timely policy and regulation, so GREET pairs R&D with policy, skilling and field demonstration.
