New Delhi [India], May 8<\/strong>: India\u2019s renewable energy sector is transitioning into a more execution-driven phase, moving beyond\u00a0headline\u00a0capacity addition\u00a0numbers with sharper focus on\u00a0system-level optimisation, reliability and integrated power delivery, according to\u00a0Hindustan Power Chairman\u00a0Ratul\u00a0Puri<\/strong><\/u><\/a>. This shift reflects a broader evolution in the sector, where the emphasis is no longer solely on adding capacity, but on ensuring that projects are delivered efficiently and perform consistently over the long term.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cIndia\u2019s renewable energy sector is\u00a0now maturing where it is not merely about adding capacity but ensuring that projects are delivered on ground with focus on\u00a0round-the-clock delivery,\u201d\u00a0said Puri.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While solar and wind capacities have scaled significantly, on-ground execution continues to face structural challenges. Issues such as land acquisition, tenancy constraints and forest clearances are affecting project timelines and slowing progress across multiple\u00a0levels. At the same time, delays in transmission infrastructure have impacted over 50 GW of renewable capacity under development, highlighting the importance of grid readiness alongside generation growth and the need for more coordinated planning.<\/p>\n

The sector is also witnessing delays due to unsigned Power Sale Agreements (PSAs), driven by changing procurement strategies among DISCOMs and large\u00a0offtakers. These challenges underline the need for stronger alignment between policy, infrastructure and execution, ensuring that projects are not held back by contractual or procedural uncertainties.<\/p>\n

In parallel, India\u2019s battery energy storage system (BESS) market is shifting from aggressive tendering to execution-led deployment. Despite approximately 102 GWh of tenders issued in 2025, only about 0.7 GWh has been commissioned, reflecting a clear gap between bidding and implementation,<\/p>\n

Highlighting this,\u00a0Ratul<\/u>Puri<\/u><\/a>\u00a0stated that \u201cthe gap between aggressive tendering and actual commissioning highlights a structural shift\u00a0where\u00a0success in this market will now be defined by execution capability, not just bidding strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tariff compression has supported adoption but has also tightened margins, increasing the importance of\u00a0well capitalised and serious bidders,\u00a0lifecycle-based project evaluation, disciplined execution and supply chain readiness. Developers are increasingly focusing on projects with clear offtake visibility,\u00a0and policy support to ensure long-term viability and stable returns in a competitive market environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a tariff-compressed environment, long-term viability depends on accurately accounting for lifecycle costs, where even small variations can materially impact project returns,\u201d\u00a0Ratul Puri<\/strong>\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

Hybrid energy systems integrating solar, transitional power,\u00a0and storage are adding operational complexity, requiring advanced coordination through Energy Management Systems (EMS) for real-time optimisation. At the same time, digital solutions are becoming central to improving performance, enabling predictive maintenance, better forecasting and dynamic dispatch across markets.<\/p>\n

Ratul<\/strong><\/u>Puri<\/strong><\/u><\/a>\u00a0further noted that \u201cdigital solutions are becoming the nerve centre of energy operations, enabling real-time optimisation, predictive maintenance and stronger performance across assets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, storage is expected to play a critical role in supporting grid stability and renewable integration, even as the sector navigates risks related to supply chains, pricing mechanisms and long-term sustainability. The next phase of growth will depend on the sector\u2019s ability to combine scale with execution strength and operational efficiency,\u00a0Ratul Puri<\/strong>\u00a0added.<\/p>\n

Ratul\u00a0Puri\u00a0concluded by stating that \u201cstorage is emerging as a critical pillar of grid stability, supporting renewable integration while creating new opportunities through evolving ancillary service markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
