Hero Future Energies, part of Hero group, has a portfolio of nearly 7.2 GW of renewable energy assets spanning solar, wind, and hybrid, along with 2.3 GWh of battery energy storage systems in four countries and is looking to expand its capacity and scale up green hydrogen and hybrid projects. In an interview, Srivatsan Iyer, global CEO of the company ,tells Raghavendra Kamath about issues in the renewable energy and the company’s strategy. How would the current geopolitical tension impact energy transition in the country? Geopolitical developments are making one thing clear: energy security and economic stability are inseparable. Recent disruptions to critical supply routes have exposed the real cost of dependence on imported fossil fuels, and they have strengthened the case for accelerating India’s shift to domestic, clean energy. Renewable energy is no longer just a climate imperative; it is now central to building economic resilience against global price shocks and supply volatility. For India, the energy transition must be viewed through the lens of self-reliance. This is an opportunity to build a sustainable, domestically anchored energy future, and the strategic case for doing so has never been stronger.
