Jain stressed that India’s emphasis on sustainable energy solutions is vital for addressing climate challenges, boosting energy security, and promoting economic development.

India has been significantly increasing its renewable energy capacity to achieve its goal of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

“India is one of the largest energy markets globally, and it must prioritise sustainable solutions to address climate challenges while enhancing energy security, creating jobs, and stimulating economic growth. We are optimistic about the future of India’s renewable energy sector and our expanding role in supporting its growth,” added Jain.

Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy operates in 28 countries, with a portfolio exceeding 20.7 gigawatt-peak (GWp) of solar projects, including those at various construction stages. Its O&M portfolio spans 7.8 GWp, including projects developed by third parties.

The company offers EPC solutions for utility-scale solar, floating solar, and hybrid energy storage systems, catering to markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Australia, and the Americas.
