\u201cWe are steadily transitioning towards a low-carbon, renewable-led portfolio, while concurrently investing in energy storage and emerging areas such as green hydrogen,\u201d he adds.<\/p>
Unlike pure-play renewable developers, the company is pursuing an integrated strategy that combines renewable expansion with dispatchable capacity. It maintains that renewable energy, in isolation, cannot yet meet the country\u2019s round-the-clock reliability requirements.<\/p>
\u201cOur growth is aligned with India\u2019s transition priorities, with a clear focus on scaling renewables, strengthening grid flexibility and ensuring energy security,\u201d Mahendra says. \u201cWhile we are accelerating renewable capacity supported by storage and hybrid solutions, our efficient thermal fleet continues to provide essential dispatchable power that underpins grid reliability.\u201d<\/p>
JSW Energy is building a 29.6 GWh locked-in energy storage pipeline across pumped hydro and battery technologies, alongside an operational 25 MW green hydrogen facility in Karnataka.<\/p>
This approach reflects a broader shift within India\u2019s power sector, where utilities are increasingly combining renewable energy with storage and thermal balancing capacity to manage intermittency and meet rising peak demand.<\/p>
The operational expansion is also aligned with a wider push within the JSW Group to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into core business strategy and asset development.<\/p>
\u201cSustainability leadership is now defined less by commitments and more by the ability to execute at scale with credibility,\u201d says Prabodha Acharya, Chief Sustainability Officer at JSW Group. \u201cIn hard-to-abate sectors like power and steel, the transition must balance decarbonisation with reliability and energy security.\u201d<\/p>
He adds that the group is embedding climate-risk considerations into planning and operations. \u201cOur climate-risk assessments aligned with global frameworks evaluate both physical and transition risks and are integrated into project design and operational decision-making. This is particularly critical in water-stressed and climate-sensitive regions.\u201d<\/p>
Water stewardship is a key focus area. \u201cWe are driving high levels of water recycling, reuse and the adoption of efficient cooling technologies, significantly reducing freshwater dependency across key assets,\u201d Acharya says.<\/p>
The group has also strengthened its approach to biodiversity and land use. \u201cWe follow a clear avoid\u2013minimise\u2013restore hierarchy to ensure responsible siting and ecosystem protection around new developments,\u201d he adds.<\/p>
Over the next three to five years, JSW Energy plans to continue scaling renewable energy and storage capacity, while maintaining a calibrated level of thermal generation to support system reliability and fund growth.<\/p>
\u201cDelivering firm, round-the-clock green power at scale remains a key priority,\u201d Mahendra says. \u201cThis will be enabled through a combination of renewables, storage and efficient thermal capacity, ensuring we support both India\u2019s decarbonisation goals and its growing energy demand.\u201d<\/p>
