Ratul puri

New Delhi [India], March 26: India’s energy sector is undergoing a structural transformation, driven by the dual need for sustainability and long-term energy security. Within this evolving landscape, leadership in clean energy is increasingly defined not only by ambition but also by the ability to execute at scale. Under the leadership of Ratul Puri, Hindustan Power has shared a roadmap to build a 5 GW energy portfolio by 2028; an initiative defined by strong strategy and disciplined execution.

The 5 GW vision is built on a balanced approach to energy development, integrating both renewable and transitional energy assets and requiring strong capabilities in project development, financing and on-ground execution. It aligns closely with India’s national target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, while also incorporating emerging sustainable technologies to support the transition to a low-carbon future.

With a strong national presence, the company is well positioned to develop and commission projects in response to the evolving demand.

Ratul Puri’s approach reflects a clear understanding that clean energy is not purely an environmental imperative, but also a strong economic opportunity. Achieving multi-gigawatt capacity requires not just capital investment, but also strong execution, disciplined operations and effective use of technology.

Hindustan Power’s approach reflects a diversified strategy toward building this capability. The planned portfolio is focused on solar and energy storage systems to support both scalability and reliability. This integrated model is designed to address one of the most critical challenges in renewable energy, intermittency, by combining generation with storage and system-level solutions.

Execution at this scale is backed by strong domestic presence and a proven project experience. The company commissioned India’s first 5 MW solar plant in 2010, followed by Asia’s first 30 MW solar PV plant in 2011. By 2013-14, it had grown into one of India’s prominent solar power developers, with over 500 MW of capacity and projects across states including Odisha, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal, Punjab and Tamil Nadu. 

In parallel, recent project developments indicate steady progress toward the 5 GW target. The company has recently secured nearly 1 GW of solar capacity along with over 750 MWh of energy storage projects, reinforcing its focus on integrated clean energy solutions. These projects include both standalone renewable installations and hybrid solutions combining solar generation with battery energy storage systems (BESS), reflecting a shift toward more resilient and dispatchable power systems.

A key pillar of this strategy is the focus on innovation and effective system integration. Rather than adding new capacity, the approach focuses on maintaining strong performance and reliability over a long period of time. Industry perspectives also suggest that leadership in energy infrastructure is now shaped by durability, system efficiency and the ability to adapt to evolving grid requirements.

Moreover, the execution of large-scale renewable projects in India continues to require coordinated efforts across land acquisition, grid connectivity and policy frameworks. Addressing these challenges is essential to accelerating deployment timelines and ensuring that clean energy capacity translates into reliable power delivery.

Commenting on this ambitious target, Mr. Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power, said: “The global energy sector is undergoing a transformational shift and India stands at the forefront of this change. Hindustan Power is dedicated to advancing sustainable energy solutions while ensuring energy security and economic growth. Our vision of achieving a 5 GW portfolio is proof of our commitment to building a cleaner and more resilient energy future.“

India’s commitment to reducing its reliance on fossil fuels and achieving net-zero emissions by 2030 has created a fertile environment for public-private partnerships in the energy sector. Hindustan Power’s strategic expansion plan showcases the critical role of the private sector in supporting national climate goals and fostering sustainable economic growth. 

In this context, the roadmap associated with Ratul Puri reflects a broader shift in the energy sector, from gradual expansion to more systematically planned large-scale transformation. The focus now goes beyond simply generating clean energy to building integrated systems that can deliver reliability, efficiency and sustainability at scale.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 26: Mumbai’s central suburbs from Sion to Mulund are now a part the city’s emerging urban core, with individual micro-markets showcasing a decisive transformation. Mulund has long been known as one of Mumbai’s quieter neighbourhoods, valued for its tree-lined streets, calm residential pockets, and accessible daily amenities. It has location advantages and infrastructure-backed developed acting as qualities redefining its liveability, connectivity, and bringing opportunity. 

Nestled on the eastern fringes of the SNGP gives Mulund an advantage. It is known for harbouring a peaceful environment with considerably better AQI, even while remaining seamlessly connected to the city’s commercial hubs. Offering a balance between urban convenience and a peaceful lifestyle, the area has been home to reputed schools, healthcare facilities, and green spaces, all within reach of the city’s commercial hubs. A rise in the number of property registrations in Mulund have been attributed to infrastructure upgrades with Metro Line 4, lush green spaces, launch of quality projects and even investments from high-profile individuals like Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan in properties within this micro-market.

Mulund’s appeal to modern homebuyers today lies in its unique combination of tranquillity and connectivity, making it an attractive choice for everyone seeking a liveable, family-friendly environment without compromising on access to work and essential services. Mulund stands out for its calm, tree-lined streets, reputable schools, existing healthcare facilities, with more hospitals coming up, and convenient retail options, all of which create an ideal setting for families and professionals seeking a balanced lifestyle. This combination of amenities and environment underscores its appeal as a “city within a city.”

As noted by Mr Chintan Sheth, Chairman and Managing Director of Sheth Realty, “Mulund’s growth trajectory is deliberate. Today, homebuyers value not just square footage, but time saved, quality of life, and long-term neighbourhood potential. Mulund delivers on all three.”

While redevelopment transforms Mulund with contemporary luxury high-rises, landscaped courtyards, and integrated amenities, developers are consciously preserving the neighbourhood’s serene character. Thoughtful planning ensures that the essence of Mulund, a peaceful, liveable suburb, is maintained even as new high-quality communities emerge.

Infrastructure upgrades, particularly the under-construction Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR), are enhancing connectivity to South Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, and key business hubs like BKC, SEEPZ, and Powai. Improvements of road transport and the metro connectivity to the western suburbs, Thane, South Mumbai and the Navi Mumbai airport are set to reduce commute times significantly, further increasing the suburb’s desirability.

With redevelopment accelerating and infrastructure nearing completion, Mulund is poised for robust property appreciation. Buyers looking at Mulund benefit from a superior standard of living and projections of near-term investment returns.

Mr. Sudhir Thorat, Managing Director of APICES Studio Pvt. Ltd, observes, “Mulund exemplifies how peripheral micro-markets can evolve into self-sustaining urban centres. Transit-oriented development, mixed-use planning, and strong civic infrastructure enable a structural recalibration of Mumbai’s growth while preserving the local character.”

Mulund, alongside other central suburbs like Sion, showcases how connectivity, community living, and contemporary luxury intersect. It offers a blueprint for rejuvenating ageing neighbourhoods to meet the expectations of a new generation of homebuyers, all while maintaining the peace and charm that make these areas truly liveable.
