Indian   Energy   Exchange (IEX), India’s premier   electricity   exchange, through its  CSR  initiative Project  Netra Shakti, aims   to empower   visually   impaired   individuals   by   enabling   access   to   advanced   assistive   technology.

Building   on   this   vision, IEX   formally   inaugurated “Project   Netra   Shakti” on December 16, 2025 in   the   presence   of   Ms.   Ayushi   Dabas, IAS, SDM   of Vasant Vihar, Delhi.   The   programme   is   aimed   at   addressing   persistent   accessibility   gaps   by   enabling   greater independence, dignity, and   inclusion   for   persons   with   visual   impairment.

Under   this   initiative, IEX   will   support   135   visually   impaired   beneficiaries, with   a   focus   on   students   aged   18–25   years.   The   programme   provides   AI-powered   assistive   devices   developed   by   TorchIT   Electronics   Private   Limited, such   as   Saarthi   Smart   Cane, which   enables   safe   and   independent   mobility, and   the   Jyoti   AI   Pro   Smart   Glasses, designed   to   assist   users   in   reading   printed   text, identifying   currency   and   medicines, recognising   faces, and   navigating   everyday   environments   with   greater   confidence.

Project   Netra   Shakti   aligns   with   IEX’s   CSR   Policy, with   a   continued   focus   on healthcare, education, and livelihood, while   placing   inclusion   and   accessibility   at   the   centre   of   social   impact   initiatives.   By   partnering   with   TorchIT   Electronics   Private   Limited, and   directly   engaging   with   beneficiaries, IEX   aims   to   create   sustainable, long-term   impact   beyond   one-time   support.
