Ratul Puri highlights: How AI can optimise energy consumption and accelerate net-zero transition
In almost every industry worldwide, artificial intelligence has become ubiquitous, including the energy sector. However, AI itself needs massive amounts of energy to operate its programmes. The training and deployment of AI models requires large, power-guzzling data centres. Without electricity, AI systems cannot function. Yet, AI could potentially transform the energy industry by facilitating a reliable, affordable and sustainable supply of electricity. Ratul Puri, chairman of Hindustan Power, an integrated power generation company with a strong presence in renewable and transitional energy generation, added that “AI will play an important role in making energy systems more efficient and stable in the coming years.”

Ratul Puri Charts a Decisive Pivot in India’s Energy Transition
Ratul Puri has spent the years following his 2016 appearance at Davos building a practical, execution-heavy path in the Indian power sector. This transition focuses on the technical work required to stabilize the national grid through a “Solar India 2.0” vision. The objective is to treat clean energy as an engineering challenge, moving from intermittent generation towards providing stable, 24/7 power. A major part of this strategy involves Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Ratul Puri on Renewable Energy: The Next Phase of Growth will be Reliable Power Delivery
India’s renewable energy sector has entered a new phase of growth. Over the past decade, the country has made significant progress in expanding solar and wind capacity, strengthening its position as one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy markets. However, as renewable capacity continues to increase, greater emphasis needs to be placed on building an energy system that can efficiently transmit, store and deliver electricity.
Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power, believes that India’s energy transition will depend on strengthening the complete power ecosystem, including transmission infrastructure, grid flexibility and energy storage solutions.
Ratul Puri on Integrated Energy Infrastructure: Why India Must Move Beyond Renewable Capacity Addition
India’s energy transition is entering a new phase where the focus is shifting from adding renewable capacity alone to building a more integrated, reliable and flexible power ecosystem. As electricity demand rises across industries, mobility, manufacturing, digital infrastructure and data centres, the ability to deliver power consistently and efficiently will become as important as generation capacity itself.
Ratul Puri: Bridge to energy security and low-carbon future
When deliberating the creation of an energy-secure India, the narrative often revolves around two contrasting factors. The first is the country’s traditional dependence on coal, while the second concerns its ambitious drive for clean, Renewable energy. But for a burgeoning nation of more than 1.4 billion people, we need a nuanced approach that maintains a fine balance between economic growth and India’s global climate commitments.
Ratul Puri shares insights on India’s evolving energy landscape
India’s energy sector is undergoing a significant transformation, with the focus shifting towards building a reliable, efficient and sustainable power ecosystem. In a recent interaction with Mint, Ratul Puri shared his perspective on the opportunities and challenges shaping India’s clean energy journey, including renewable integration, grid infrastructure, storage solutions and the need for a balanced energy mix.
Ratul Puri on AI and Energy: Why Intelligent Power Systems Will Drive India's Future
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping industries across the world, from healthcare and manufacturing to financial services and logistics. Its impact on the energy sector, however, could be one of the most significant. While AI is expected to increase electricity demand through the rapid growth of data centres and digital infrastructure, it also offers an opportunity to make power systems more efficient, reliable and responsive. According to Ratul Puri Chairman of Hindustan Power, AI should be seen not only as a driver of electricity demand but also as a technology that can improve the way energy is generated, managed and delivered.
