The launch event, held in New Delhi, marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to create a reliable, efficient, and sustainable electricity sector in India.
The CEA regulations provide a robust framework for the generation, transmission, distribution, and trading of electricity across the country.

The compendium covers a wide range of topics, including technical standards, safety measures, grid connectivity, and more, reflecting the evolving needs of India’s power sector.
At the launch, Union Minister Shri Manohar Lal stated, “The release of this compendium of CEA regulations is a crucial step towards ensuring transparency in the power sector in India. The regulations encapsulated in this compendium will bring uniformity of rules and will provide a centralised and easily accessible source of information at one place for ease of compliances by the power sector stakeholders.”
