Over the years, the company has developed strong engineering, EPC, andmanufacturing capabilities in power transmission and re- newable energy. These capabilities translate well into the hydrogen value chain, where reliability, integration with renewable sources, and lifecycle performance are critical. The Letter of Award received under the SIGHT Scheme Tranche- II reinforces Advait’s intent to participate in building indigenous electrolyser manufacturing capacity in line with the objectives of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, as outlined in our annual disclosures. With respect to the plant location, investment outlay, and commissioning timeline, these details are currently under eval- uation as part of internal planning and statutory processes. Q In October 2025, Advait Greenergy signed an MoU with the Government of Gujarat to invest INR 1,400 crore across a diverse portfolio of green energy and infrastructure projects in Gujarat. Could you elaborate on the projects the company will be working on? Rutvi Sheth: The MoU with the Government of Gujarat reflects our intent to participate in the state’s clean energy and grid mod- ernisation ecosystem across multiple workstreams. These include renewable energy execution, energy storage solutions, and greenhy- drogen-linked infrastructure, supported by enabling transmission and grid assets. As with any multi-year MoU, individual projects will progress through stages of feasibility, structuring, and approvals. Timelines and execution milestones will be communicated as each project moves closer to implementation, with an emphasis on execution readiness rather than headline announcements. Q How do you view the current state of gender diversity in the clean energy sectors? What steps can organisations take to create more equitable opportunities? Rutvi Sheth: The clean energy sector is growing at an unprecedent- ed pace, but representation across technical, project, and leadership roles has not yet kept pace with that growth. While there has been progress in recent years, gender diversity still presents a meaningful opportunity, particularly in operational and decision-making posi- tions that shape long-term outcomes. Inmyview, creating equity requiresmovingbeyond intent tobuild- ing systems that support continuity and growth. This starts with structured and inclusive hiring, but itmust extend intomentorship, leadership development, and sponsorship that actively support women through different stages of their careers. Flexible work pol- icies, safe and inclusive project-site environments, and clearly de- fined roles and performance frameworks also play a critical role in retention. Most importantly, organisations need to design career pathways that allowwomen to sustain momentum over the long term. When diversity is embedded into culture, leadershipbehaviour, and every- day processes, it stops being a standalone initiative and becomes a natural part of how organisations grow and lead. Q Looking ahead, what emerging trends or technologies do you believe will reshape India’s renewable energy land- scape over the next 5–10 years? Rutvi Sheth: Over the next decade, India’s renewable energy jour- ney will move beyond capacity addition to a more system-oriented phase, where reliability, flexibility, and integration become as im - portant as generation itself. Grid modernisation will play a central role, supported by advanced forecasting, digital monitoring, and smarter asset management to handle increasing variability in re- newable power. Energy storage will emerge as a critical enabler, not just as a stand- alone asset but as part of integrated solutions that combine solar, wind, and storage to deliver stable, dispatchable power. Alongside this, hybrid project structures and round-the-clock power models are likely to gain greater traction as utilities and industries seek pre- dictability and resilience. Green hydrogen will also evolve from early-stage deployments to- ward industrial-scale applications as policy frameworks mature and offtake mechanisms become clearer. At the same time, domestic manufacturing and localisation across renewable technologies will shape long-term competitiveness by strengthening supply chains, improving execution efficiency, and supporting energy security. To - gether, these shifts will define the next phase of India’s renewable energy transformation. WOMAN INFLUENCER energetica INDIA- February_2026 71
