“…In 2008, and building on earlier programmes, the central government initiated the Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (R‐APDRP) (Narasimhan et al, 2011). In Stelcorp, this funded around USD 50 million‐worth of digital information system technologies to address both technical and commercial loss (Figure 3): Automated online digital meters installed across higher levels of the power network, especially in urban areas.…”

Motivation: Datafication-the growing presence, use and impact of data in social processes-is spreading to all sectors in developing countries. But, to date, there are few analyses of real-world experiences of datafication in developing country organizations. Purpose: We address this knowledge gap by analysing evidence of big data in practice in relation to three key issues: implementation, value and power. Approach and methods: Using interview, observation and documentary sources, we analyse the implementation and impact of big data systems in Indian electricity and transport public sector organizations. Findings: Big data systems have been much slower to implement than anticipated, and the article exposes the nature and scale of the implementation challenge facing such systems. These are already delivering value for some managers within public service organizations but are, as yet, more operational than strategic and incremental not transformative. Big data systems are facilitating a shift in power from the public sector to the private sector, and from labour and middle management to panopticon-type control by central managers. Big data intersects with politics especially around the imaginaries of wider stakeholders, changing their view of the financial and political issues that technology can address. Policy implications: Policy-makers and practitioners can better understand and plan for big data in development using three frameworks presented in the article: information value chain, decision pyramid, and big data-power model. These expose key issues of implementation, organizational value and power that must be incorporated into big data policy and projects. Benefits of datafication have been largely restricted to senior managers, private contractors and some politicians. To spread these to other stakeholders, including workers and citizens, action must be taken to address both practical and political issues arising in the datafication of development.

Indian power sector is at the third stage of reforms now, where energy security and advanced operation and control through new technology to build twenty first century power system is required. Government of India has set its Smart Grid Vision as a part of National Action Plan on Climate Changes.Accelerated Power Development Programme is a backbone and Restructured Accelerated Power Development Programme is a transition to Smart Grid. The Smart Grid Vision of India with three agendas as reliable generation,reliable and advanced distribution system and end of load shedding is explored through various policies and regulatory initiatives taken and milestones achieved. The historical development in institutionalization of the process is also presented. The key performance indices and scope of work is proposed in Indian Scenario to match the smartness of grid.
