The Ministry of Power became a ministry on July 2, 1992 during the [[P. V. Narasimha Rao government]].<ref>{{citation|url=http://powermin.nic.in/ministry_of_power/about_ministry.htm|title=About ministry|publisher=Ministry of Power (India)|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121026071422/http://www.powermin.nic.in/ministry_of_power/about_ministry.htm|archive-date=26 October 2012|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Prior to that time it had been a department (the Department of Power) in the Ministry of Power, Coal and Non-Conventional Energy Sources. That ministry was split into the Ministry of Power, [[Ministry of Coal]], and Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (renamed the [[Ministry of New and Renewable Energy]] in 2006).

In 2012, the Ministry of Power inaugurated the ''Smart Grid'' project in [[Pondicherry|Puducherry]].<ref name="smartgrid">{{cite news|title=Smart grid project inaugurated|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/smart-grid-project-inaugurated/article4015596.ece|date=2012-10-20|agency=[[The Hindu]]|location=Puducherry|access-date=2012-10-23}}</ref>
