Ministry of Power to Showcase ‘Prakash Ganga’ Tableau at Republic Day Parade 2026

The Ministry of Power will present its grand tableau titled “Prakash Ganga: Powering an Aatmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat” at the Republic Day Parade on January 26, 2026, showcasing India’s transformative journey in the power sector and its leadership in clean and sustainable energy.

The tableau highlights India’s evolution from achieving universal electricity access to emerging as a global clean energy leader, reinforcing the nation’s commitment to building a self-reliant and developed India. The theme Prakash Ganga — meaning “River of Light” — symbolises the seamless and continuous flow of power across the interconnected national grid.

A prominent feature of the tableau is a robotic Smart Meter model, accompanied by wind turbine generators, reflecting the integration of digital technologies, automation, and smart solutions for efficient power management.

The central section depicts the “Smart Power, Smarter Home” concept with rooftop solar installations, highlighting the government’s vision of empowering citizens as ‘prosumers’ — both producers and consumers of electricity. A towering transmission structure represents last-mile connectivity, while an EV charging station and electric scooter demonstrate the power sector’s role in enabling clean mobility and a sustainable transport ecosystem.

The rear segment showcases India’s renewable energy strength through hydroelectric, wind, and geothermal power installations, symbolising the nation’s expanding clean energy footprint. The structure marked “Switching on India” represents advanced control and monitoring centres that ensure grid stability and uninterrupted electricity supply.
