Suzlon Energy controls a third of India's wind market, but co-founder and vice chairman Girish Tanti isn't celebrating. In this conversation with host Anirban Chowdhury, he confronts hard questions: Why has India tapped only 4% of its wind potential despite three decades of operations? Can the sector scale from 6 gigawatts annually to the 10+ needed to meet 2030 targets? And will promised AI data centers overwhelm renewable capacity before it's built? Tanti reveals truths about offshore wind economics, the two-year lag between planning and execution that bottlenecks growth, and why financial restructuring forced Suzlon to often choose stability over speed. He also makes an argument: with 75% local manufacturing content, India's wind sector is better positioned against supply shocks than its solar counterpart. From debunking resource myths to dissecting smart factory ROI, this is wind energy without the greenwash.
