The newly formed venture will focus on a wide array of renewable and emerging energy opportunities, including solar and wind (both onshore and offshore), energy storage solutions (pumped and battery storage), and green molecule technologies like green hydrogen, green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and green methanol.

Additionally, the JVC plans to expand into e-mobility, carbon credits, and green credits, aligning closely with India’s green energy objectives.
