An overview of the work done by Ratul Puri in the field of renewable energy

Renewable Energy, Transmission & Storage for a Stronger Power System India’s energy transition is entering a new phase. The country is rapidly expanding renewable energy capacity while electricity demand continues to rise across industries, manufacturing, transportation, digital infrastructure and households. As solar and wind become a larger part of the power mix, the focus is increasingly shifting towards how this electricity can be connected, transmitted and delivered reliably. For Ratul Puri , Chairman of Hindustan Power , renewable energy expansion is closely linked with India’s long-term energy security. Increasing clean power generation is important, but it must be supported by the infrastructure and systems required to deliver electricity efficiently to consumers. Renewable Energy Growth Is Creating New Opportunities India has made significant progress in expanding solar and wind power. Falling technology costs, competitive procurement and increasing investment have helped...

India's clean energy transition is entering a new phase where expanding renewable capacity alone will no longer be enough. According to Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power, the country's long-term energy ambitions now depend on developing the supporting infrastructure that enables renewable electricity to be delivered reliably and efficiently. Speaking in an interview with Business World, Ratul Puri said India's electricity demand is steadily rising across residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, and digital infrastructure. Meeting this growing demand will require battery storage, stronger transmission networks and distributed renewable generation to evolve alongside renewable capacity, creating a more resilient and reliable power ecosystem. Battery Storage Will Unlock India's Renewable Energy Potential For Chairman Ratul Puri , battery storage is the missing link in India's renewable energy transition. While the country has made significant progres...

India is on its way to developing a new sustainable energy future with its clean energy mission. Development of a nation is not measured by how much a nation builds for its people but by how meaningfully those advancements improve the lives and opportunities of its people. With over 50% of the nation’s installed capacity now powered by non-fossil fuels, the country has demonstrated strong capability in rapid energy capacity. But the gap lies in the effective transmission of electricity. Now, the industry is transitioning to a more sophisticated challenge: building an integrated power system that delivers clean energy reliably, round the clock. Ratul Puri , Chairman of Hindustan Power, talks about how India’s growth will not only depend on adding capacity but also on strengthening storage, supply chain and grid integration. Energy Storage: The Game Changer Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is not just a technology now, it has become the next important infrastructure requirement f...

Coal gasification is emerging as an important part of India's broader energy-security strategy. According to Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power , the technology can help India leverage its domestic coal resources to produce critical industrial inputs while reducing dependence on imports. Balancing India’s Energy Security and Clean Energy Goals India’s energy transition requires a balance between clean energy ambitions, economic growth and energy security. While solar and wind are expanding rapidly, energy-intensive industries still require reliable, high-temperature energy, while import dependence creates additional vulnerabilities. Ratul Puri on India’s Clean Energy Future When we talk about the clean energy-focused future of India, two contrasting realities emerge: one of a traditional coal-dependent India and one of a far-sighted clean, renewable energy future. Ratul Puri says that, to fulfill the demands of a 1.4 billion-strong population, the safer approach would be tha...

Ratul Puri on How AI is Transforming Energy Efficiency and Supporting Net-Zero Goals Artificial intelligence is becoming an important part of industries around the world, especially in the energy sector. AI systems need large amounts of electricity to operate because training and running AI models depends on advanced data centres. At the same time, AI is also creating new opportunities to improve energy efficiency, strengthen electricity systems, and support clean energy goals. Ratul Puri , chairman of Hindustan Power, believes that “AI will play an important role in making energy systems more efficient and stable in the coming years.” AI and the Growing Demand for Electricity The rapid growth of AI, cloud computing, and digital services is increasing investment in data centres across the world. These facilities require significant amounts of electricity to operate. An AI-focused data centre can consume enough electricity to support nearly 100,000 homes, while larger centres being deve...

  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...
