Hindustan Power

Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power, is a name synonymous with innovation, leadership, and sustainability in India’s power sector. With a background in engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, he began his career in finance and technology before shifting focus to infrastructure and energy—two sectors vital to India’s long-term growth.

Puri founded Hindustan Powerprojects with the aim of addressing India’s energy deficit through large-scale, high-impact projects. What sets him apart is his early bet on renewable energy, especially solar power, at a time when the sector was still emerging in India. Under his leadership, Hindustan Power has commissioned over 600 MW of solar projects, both domestically and internationally, including in Germany, Italy, and the UK.

His work has not only delivered clean electricity to millions but also aligned closely with India’s climate goals. Puri is widely recognized as a clean energy influencer and has received accolades such as the Young Global Leader award by the World Economic Forum and the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year honor.

Beyond business, Ratul Puri is committed to inclusive growth. He actively supports education, skill development, and rural electrification through solar infrastructure. His leadership style blends visionary thinking with operational excellence, making him one of the most respected figures in the infrastructure space.

As India pursues its ambitious target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, Ratul Puri’s role becomes increasingly crucial. He continues to push the boundaries of sustainable innovation, positioning Hindustan Power as a leader not just in energy, but in building a greener, more resilient future for India and the world.
