Hero Future Energies

I am looking forward to attending the first Scottish Defence Summit tomorrow in Glasgow. A great opportunity to meet clients, foster relationships and gain insights from leaders across industry and government and see how Scottish capability can continue to play a key role in strengthening the UK Defence ecosystem. See you there

It was a privilege to participate in the Special Plenary on “ Towards 500 GW: Scale, Speed and Self Reliance” at the #CIIAnnualBusinessSummit 2026, alongside Shri Pralhad Joshi ji, Hon'ble Union Minister of New & Renewable Energy and Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution. During our discussion, I stressed that while India achieved a record 55.3 GW of RE addition in FY 26, this momentum must increase year on year. The 500 GW target is the foundational platform for an even bigger leap forward towards energy security, industrial competitiveness, and #Atmanirbharta . With green hydrogen and its derivatives as important pieces of the decarbonization puzzle, the broader mission is clear: clean energy is the bedrock of our #ViksitBharat ambition. By scaling our renewable capacity, we are not just meeting targets; we are ensuring that sustainable power becomes India's ultimate competitive advantage. It was heartening to hear the Hon’ble Minister’s perspective on policy stability and his commitment to drive this leap. Together, we are building an energy-secure legacy for the nation. #SmellTheRoses #EnergySecurity #ViksitBharat #CleanEnergy #AtmanirbharBharat #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #GreenIndia #IndiaGrowthStory #FutureOfEnergy Confederation of Indian Industry Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)

Energy independence is no longer just a goal; it is a strategic necessity. In my recent conversation with The The Economic Times , I shared why the narrative around renewables has transformed. While climate change is naturally part of the conversation, recent geo-political events have made Energy Security the dominant driver. To truly insulate our economy and ensure national sovereignty, we must stop "talking gigawatts" and start "talking terawatts." By betting on clean energy for electrification, and green hydrogen and derivatives for hard-to-abate industries, we move from being vulnerable to being truly independent, paving the way for a green, more resilient future.

In my latest piece for the Hindustan Times , I explore a crucial pivot in our thinking about renewable energy. It’s no longer just a "green" alternative; it's a "strategic" imperative. The recent volatility in global energy markets is a wake-up call. For nations like India, which are heavily reliant on energy imports, the path to true self-reliance, Atmanirbharta, is paved with solar panels and wind turbines. I believe we need to move beyond yesterday's ambitions. This is our moment to frame a 'Plan B' that puts renewables at the core of our national strategy. The infographic below provides a brief overview of this perspective.
