Ratul Puri on patient capital for India’s clean energy transition. Talk to enough people in India's energy sector and you'll notice something odd: nobody really argues about whether the country can hit its clean energy targets on paper. The panels get built, the projects get announced, the auctions get won. The real trouble starts later, in the boring middle stretch between "project awarded" and "power flowing" — and that's the stretch Ratul Puri keeps coming back to when he

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 reli
