In a major step towards accelerating India’s clean energy transition, Mr. Girish Tanti, Co-Founder of Suzlon Group, has been appointed Chairman of the CII Renewable Energy Manufacturing Council and the CII National Committee on Renewable Energy for the year 2025-26. This appointment aligns with India's vision of becoming a Viksit Bharat by 2047 and achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
With a legacy spanning over three decades in renewable energy, Mr. Tanti has been instrumental in shaping India's clean energy landscape long before it emerged as a global priority. As a pioneer in the sector, he continues to champion self-reliant and sustainable development through policy advocacy and industry leadership. He currently serves as the Vice Chairman of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), Chairman of GWEC’s Global Supply Chain Forum, Chairman of GWEC India, and Chairman of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA).
Under his leadership, the CII committees will work towards building a balanced and inclusive energy ecosystem that empowers all renewable technologies from wind and solar to hydro and bioenergy. Mr. Tanti emphasized the need to turn climate ambitions into tangible outcomes, stating, “A Viksit Bharat must be built on clean, reliable, affordable, and self-sufficient energy. Renewable energy must power our growth not just by cutting emissions but by generating employment, strengthening industries, and ensuring energy security”.
Highlighting the urgency, he added, “With India already reaching 222 GW of renewable capacity, we must now double this within six years. This calls for strong public-private collaboration and a renewed thrust on ‘Make in India’ to boost domestic manufacturing”.
Mr. Tanti’s appointment signals a bold push to transform India into a global hub for renewable energy manufacturing and leadership.
