Power trading firm GNA Energy on Friday launched GNAi, a power intelligence platform for the electricity sector, at the Bharat Electricity Summit 2026 in New Delhi. The summit is being held at Yashobhoomi, Delhi from March 19–22, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, investors and experts focused on grid modernisation and clean energy.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a written message read out by Union Power Secretary Pankaj Aggarwal at the summit, invited global investors to “make, invest, innovate, and scale” in India. Union Minister Manohar Lal said India has achieved its NDC target of 50 per cent cumulative non-fossil fuel-based capacity nearly five years ahead of schedule, and that the sector is expected to attract investments of around Rs 200 lakh crore over the next two decades.
GNAi is designed to support India’s transition toward a decentralised, data-driven energy ecosystem. Built as a cloud-based, modular SaaS platform, it integrates data from smart meters, grid systems and weather inputs into a unified environment, offering AI-powered business intelligence modules for discoms, generators, regulators and market participants.
“The platform combines machine learning and optimisation engines to deliver demand and generation forecasting, price forecasting, battery dispatch optimisation, power procurement planning and market participation strategies. It also supports emerging use cases like peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading, demand response programmes and distributed energy resource integration. With increasing renewable penetration and volatility in electricity demand and prices, data-driven decision-making is becoming critical for utilities to optimise their portfolios,” said Sanjeev Kumar, Managing Director, GNA Energy.
GNAi is built on a microservices-based, API-first architecture enabling integration with both legacy systems and emerging infrastructure such as smart meters and EV ecosystems. The platform is aligned with the India Energy Stack under the Ministry of Power and uses open protocols to support secure data exchange and modular scalability.
GNAi follows the launch of Vidyut AI, GNA Energy’s AI-driven market analytics engine unveiled last month at the India AI Summit. Vidyut AI processes data from regulators, exchanges and grid operators to generate procurement insights and price signals for power market participants. Together, the two platforms form the company’s broader push to build a data and intelligence layer for India’s power markets.
