Hello @raju_a 

1. Create di.xml file at app/code/Vendor/Module/etc into your custom module
   

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
   <preference for="Magento\CatalogWidget\Block\Product\ProductsList" type="Vendor\Module\Block\Product\ProductsList" />
   </config>

2. Create a block file ProductsList.php at app/code/Vendor/Module/Block/Product to extend the widget class
   

   <?php
   namespace Vendor\Module\Block\Product;
   class ProductsList extends \Magento\CatalogWidget\Block\Product\ProductsList
   {
   }

3. Copy the related template file and put into your custom module with related Path
   vendor/magento/module-catalog-widget/view/frontend/templates/product/widget/content/grid.phtml
   to
   app/code/Vendor/Module/view/frontend/templates/product/widget/content/grid.phtml
   

Make sure another module has not used the same preference in di.xml

Hope it helps.

The issue with using preferences is that it could conflict with other modules overriding the same class. I would suggest injecting your custom template as a config option in etc/widget.xml.

<widgets xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Widget:etc/widget_file.xsd">
    <widget id="cms_static_block">
        <parameters>
            <parameter name="template" xsi:type="select">
                <options>
                    <option name="option_id" value="Custom_Module::view/custom-template.phtml">
                        <label translate="true">Custom template</label>
                    </option>
                </options>
            </parameter>
        </parameters>
    </widget>
</widgets>

With this approach, your template will be selectable as an option every time you create a new widget, and you won't have any conflict with other modules.

Is there any way to override widget grid.phtml without using of di.xml or preferences
