At the @UN General Assembly, I highlighted a defining challenge of the energy transition: moving from targets to implementation at scale. India’s next phase will be shaped by grids, storage, electrification and integrated energy systems. At @ReNewCorp, we are focused on translating that transition into sustainable growth. #CleanEnergy #UN81 @UNFCCC

It was a privilege to meet Hon’ble Finance Minister @nsitharaman today. We discussed India’s clean energy and manufacturing momentum, the opportunities in green compute and AI infrastructure, and how India can translate its clean energy advantage into global competitiveness. Thank you, Minister, for your leadership in strengthening the foundations for long-term growth and investment. @FinMinIndia @nsitharamanoffc #CleanEnergy #Manufacturing #AI #ViksitBharat

The energy transition is a shared global project, making multilateral cooperation indispensable. Progress in hard-to-abate sectors like steel and cement depends on shared innovation, investment and action. Rewiring the world’s energy system requires governments, business, civil society and the media to work together. I spoke with @CNN’s @Richardquest on why innovation and multilateralism remain central to the energy transition ➜ youtube.com/watch?v=GhYA0E8G… @questCNN @CNNi #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy

Looking forward to the Columbia-India Energy Dialogue by @ReNewCorp and @ColumbiaUEnergy on 29 October in New Delhi. Leaders will explore how innovation, AI and value chains can drive energy security and competitiveness in a splintering world. globalcenters.columbia.edu/e…

The economics are clear. As storage scales, the challenge shifts to grids and infrastructure. Faster progress will also depend on open flows of capital, technology and expertise. In my conversation with @Lagarde, we discussed essentials: scale and cross-border cooperation. @ecb #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy

When we founded @ReNewCorp 15 years ago, India’s renewable energy sector was still taking shape. Today, India has nearly 300 GW of renewable capacity and is poised to add 60-70 GW annually. But electricity is only ~20% of energy consumption. The next decarbonisation challenge lies in hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping, transport, industrial heat, and steel, making resilient supply chains and green molecules increasingly important. Great speaking at the @BBGNewEconomy Forum panel, “Clean Power, Tough Choices,” alongside Amy Brachio and @johnfraher. bloomberg.com/news/videos/20… @mnreindia #EnergyTransition #GreenHydrogen #NewEconomyForum

Renewables have won the cost debate. Now comes the harder part: reliable delivery. Storage, grids and affordability will shape the energy transition. And beyond power, decarbonisation will depend on technologies that can scale at the right cost. Enjoyed discussing this on @CNN Global Perspectives with @klustout, Minister @AsmundAukrust and Elizabeth Yee. #EnergyTransition #NetZero #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #EnergyInnovation

When we set up @ReNewCorp in 2011, one question from investors came up repeatedly: Will the India of today still be there 20 years from now? Over 25 years in public life, PM @narendramodi’s defining trait has been the ability to turn ambition into execution. From infrastructure and inclusion to clean energy, India’s growing confidence to build at scale is visible across sectors. @PMOIndia At ReNew, we have been fortunate to grow alongside this transformation, one of many stories shaped by long-term ambition and execution. My reflections in @ForbesIndia’s special edition on 25 years of PM Modi’s public life. #CleanEnergyIndia #LeadershipInAction #IndiaAtScale #ReNewTheFuture

Twenty-five years in public life is more than a milestone. It is a reminder of how leadership can shape a nation’s direction. Over the past 25 years, Prime Minister @narendramodi has championed execution, infrastructure creation, governance reform, and economic ambition. From digital public platforms and modern infrastructure to renewable energy and manufacturing, India’s growth story has increasingly been defined by confidence. @PMOIndia As India pursues its vision of Viksit Bharat, Prime Minister Modi continues to lead the country to think bigger, move faster, and aim higher. @mygovindia #25YearsOfModi #ViksitBharat #IndiaGrowthStory

Pleasure hosting Chief Economic Adviser Dr V. Anantha Nageswaran for a #WattsAndWhys conversation on India’s Economic Moment in a Fragmented World. We explored the opportunities and challenges shaping India’s next phase of growth, from manufacturing competitiveness and technological leadership to energy security and strategic autonomy. An insightful discussion on what it will take to build a more resilient, competitive and globally influential India. @FinMinIndia @NITIAayog @mnreindia #IndiaGrowthStory #EconomicPolicy #EnergySecurity #ViksitBharat

I congratulate the Government of India on the approval of the Green Energy Corridor Phase-III scheme. This landmark initiative, aimed at enabling the evacuation of up to 135 GW of renewable energy and deploying 50 GWh of battery energy storage, represents a decisive step towards building a modern, resilient and flexible power system. The strong focus on intra-state transmission infrastructure addresses one of the most critical requirements for accelerating renewable energy deployment. The integration of storage will also help manage intermittency, congestion, peak-hour curtailment, and non-solar-hour demand. With a total outlay of ₹1,86,405 crore and significant centralfinancial support, GEC-III demonstrates the Government’s commitment to India’s energy transition and its ambition of achieving 900 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2035. This forward-looking initiative will strengthen energy security, promote domestic manufacturing, create employment, and unlock greater private investment across the clean-energy ecosystem. The renewable energy industry looks forward to partnering with the Government and States to ensure its timely and effective implementation. @MinOfPower @mnreindia @CEA_India #GreenEnergyCorridor #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #ViksitBharat

Under the leadership of Prime Minister @narendramodi, India’s energy transformation has emerged as one of the defining development stories of the 21st century. In my conversation with @rajshamani, I spoke about how India’s electricity network, built to serve 1.4+ billion people, provides a strong foundation for scaling clean energy, expanding transmission infrastructure, and meeting rising demand from manufacturing, digitalisation and AI. #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Infrastructure youtube.com/watch?v=J5ft7TFU…

NYCW reinforced a clear shift: the energy transition is moving from targets to delivery, with energy security, resilience and competitiveness shaping the next phase. At @ReNewCorp, we see this in building clean energy systems across generation, transmission and storage. As we move towards COP31, the focus must be on implementation: turning ambition into infrastructure, investment and measurable outcomes. @UNFCCC @UN @UNEP @UNinIndia @mnreindia @moefcc #ClimateWeekNYC #EnergyTransition

At the Global Curtain Raiser of @BharatRESummit 2026 during #ClimateWeekNYCW, I highlighted India’s shift from clean energy ambition to execution. Reaching 50% non-fossil installed capacity ahead of its Paris commitment is a major milestone. @subramanyam_ias, @Ashish_Khanna The focus now is scaling investment in power, transmission, storage and emerging technologies to drive energy security and industrial competitiveness. @mnreindia @isolaralliance #NYCW2026 #BRESummit2026

An absolute privilege to meet @MikeBloomberg on the sidelines of #NYCW2026. Through @BloombergDotOrg and his wider climate leadership, Mike has been a powerful force in advancing climate action and accelerating the global energy transition. I shared India’s clean-energy story and the playbook captured in my book, #FossilFree, which reflects India’s experience in scaling renewable energy, mobilising capital and building the foundations of a green industrial economy. As India rapidly expands clean-energy deployment and manufacturing, and geopolitical shifts reshape the global energy landscape, the opportunity is immense. Ahead of COP31, the imperative is clear: accelerate electrification, stay the course on tripling renewables, and place green industrialisation at the heart of the next phase of the global energy transition. @BBGNewEconomy @business #NYCW2026 #EnergyTransition

A chance encounter at the UN with California Governor @GavinNewsom. Good to see his continued commitment to the energy transition. California, now the world’s fourth-largest economy, has cut greenhouse gas emissions by 21% since 2000 while its GDP grew 81%. The next phase of the energy transition is not just about adding clean power. It is about building enough of it, reliably and affordably. #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy
