Ratul Puri on Renewable Energy Curtailment: Why Effective Power Delivery Matters More Than Capacity Expansion

Image
  Introduction India's renewable energy journey has reached an important milestone, but according to Ratul Puri , the next phase of growth will depend not only on capacity additions but also on the ability to effectively deliver power to consumers. As Ratul Puri highlights, the country added significant renewable energy capacity during 2025-26, yet a considerable amount of clean energy was curtailed due to transmission constraints and grid stability concerns. Ratul Puri , Chairman of Hindustan Power India's Renewable Energy Growth Story For Ratul Puri , the recent growth in renewable energy capacity demonstrates India's commitment to a cleaner and more sustainable future. The country witnessed record additions in solar and wind power, strengthening its position as one of the world's fastest-growing renewable energy markets. However, Ratul Puri points out that installed capacity alone cannot determine success. Renewable energy projects must be supported by adequate inf...

Ratul Puri: The Future Of Economic Growth Runs On Electricity

Image
  Electricity is emerging as a key driver of economic growth, shaping manufacturing, AI infrastructure and industrial investment. Ratul Puri believes India must build affordable, reliable power capacity ahead of demand, modernise grids, expand storage-backed renewables and strengthen infrastructure to gain a long-term competitive edge in the global economy. For decades, electricity was viewed as a support system for economic growth. Industries expanded, cities developed, consumption increased and power infrastructure quietly grew alongside them. That equation is now changing rapidly. Electricity is no longer operating in the background of economic activity. It is becoming one of the primary drivers of growth itself. According to Ratul Puri, electricity is becoming a strategic asset that will shape future economic growth. Electricity Is Becoming the Foundation of Economic Competitiveness We are entering an era where the availability of affordable and uninterrupted power will increa...
