An Indian delegation visited Germany from 2 to 9 November 2025 in order to learn more about the German approach for a flexible energy system. The delegation consisted of representatives from the Indian energy sector, including the Ministry of Power, Grid India, and Mahagenco.\nTogether with the Deutschen Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ<\/a>) GmbH and the Indian Excellence Enhancement Center (EEC<\/a>), the vgbe played a key role in designing the study trip program. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
