Vaishali Nigam Sinha

About

Vaishali Nigam Sinha is steering one of India’s largest clean energy platforms with an eye on scale, discipline, and staying relevant. In FY26, ReNew commissioned 2.4 GW of renewable capacity and pushed its operating portfolio to 12.6 GW. The focus has not just been on adding megawatts, but on building resilience through diversification. Solar, wind, and early storage systems now sit alongside a growing manufacturing base that reduces dependence on global supply shocks. What stands out is her insistence on integration—a shift from chasing capacity to building a more dependable energy system. “Blending solar and wind assets, commissioning round-the-clock projects, and introducing storage pilots have improved asset utilisation and cash flow stability,” she says. ReNew’s total income rose to ₹10,900 crore in FY25, while adjusted Ebitda climbed 14% YoY to ₹7,900 crore. PAT stood at about ₹4,600 crore. Nearly 84% of revenue is now aligned with E.U. taxonomy norms. The company also raised $900 million through capital recycling, keeping the balance sheet flexible. What Sinha values most is the scale of opportunity in energy transition, particularly in India.
