Q1. How do you see the outlook for jobs in the renewable energy Sector, and your own firm’s plans in particular?

The outlook for jobs in the renewable energy sector remains structurally strong. Recent industry estimates indicate that India’s renewable energy sector already supports over 1.3 million jobs and could generate up to 3 million jobs by 2030, reflecting the scale of deployment underway. This momentum is being reinforced by strong policy support across the value chain, particularly the push for domestic manufacturing, localisation of supply chains, and visible multi-year demand through utility-scale tenders and distributed solar programmes.

India’s transition is now being driven not only by capacity addition, but by manufacturing scale-up, grid integration, storage, and the build-out of supporting infrastructure. This is expanding employment across engineering, project execution, manufacturing, operations, and allied services. As projects become more integrated and technology-intensive, demand is rising for skilled professionals who can deliver complex projects reliably and efficiently at scale

This trajectory is directly shaping how we scale our organisation and build our teams. As we build an integrated energy platform spanning manufacturing, renewable power generation, and emerging clean technologies, we are creating multidisciplinary teams with strong execution and technology capabilities. Over the next few years, we plan to create close to 4,000 jobs, including around 500 roles this year, alongside sustained investments in training, safety, and leadership development.

Overall, renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure together will remain among the most important engines of job creation in the coming decade, and we intend to scale responsibly with the sector.

Q2. What are the skills most in demand? What are the skillsets that are most scarce?

Across manufacturing, EPC and development, demand remains strong for core engineering and execution capabilities, with increasing emphasis on reliability and performance optimisation as asset portfolios scale.

In manufacturing, there is strong demand for professionals with hands-on experience in advanced cell and module technologies, automation, yield optimisation and large-scale process control. In EPC and development, talent that combines execution excellence with a deep understanding of grid integration, power evacuation, regulatory frameworks and commercial risk continues to be in short supply.
