CEA Draft Cyber Security Regulations,
2024 Compliance Handbook
The Imperative of Cybersecurity in India’s Power Sector
India’s power sector, a cornerstone of critical infrastructure, is under siege from escalating cyber threats. From ransomware disrupting energy grids to supply chain attacks targeting operational technology (OT), the stakes are higher than ever. In August 2024, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) introduced the Draft Cyber Security in Power Sector Regulations, 2024, building on the 2021 guidelines to address modern challenges. Set to take effect in 2025, these regulations mandate robust protections for OT, Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) across power generation, transmission, and distribution. Shieldworkz’s CEA Cybersecurity Regulations 2025 Compliance Handbook is your guide to navigating these requirements, ensuring resilience and compliance in manufacturing, oil and gas, and energy sectors.
Why the CEA Regulations Matter
The 2025 CEA regulations mark a pivotal shift in safeguarding India’s power infrastructure. With IT/OT convergence and the rise of IIoT, vulnerabilities in legacy systems and connected devices are prime targets for cyberattacks. These regulations, enacted under Section 177 of the Electricity Act, 2003, apply to all responsible entities—power companies, vendors, contractors, and government bodies. They introduce mandatory cybersecurity audits, defined CISO roles, and structured incident response frameworks, aligning with global standards like IEC 62443 and NERC CIP. Compliance is critical to avoid penalties, ensure operational continuity, and protect public safety in 2025’s evolving threat landscape.
