Tata Power Company Ltd said some of its IT systems were impacted by the cyber attack. Last month, Union Power Minister R.K. Singh said India's power network will soon be more future-ready and insulated from cyber attacks with the provision of routine inspections and timely action under the Electricity Amendment Bill.

Earlier this year, Singh informed that there were cyber attacks on the national power grid." These were probing attacks in December, January, and February. They did not succeed. But we are aware," he had said. IANS
