Juniper Green Energy is an independent renewable energy producer and operator, focusing on solar, wind, and hybrid projects. It is part of the Singapore-based AT Group, which has diversified global investments in renewable energy, residential and commercial real estate, and hospitality.

Established in October 2018 and headquartered in Delhi NCR, Juniper Green Energy currently operates a total capacity of 1.1 GWp, contributing to the renewable energy landscape in India and the broader region.
