In an exclusive conversation with The Interview World at the Renewable Energy India Expo 2025, Hari Prasad Jhawar, Market Leader – O&G, Chemicals & Hydrogen CIF, South Asia Operating Region, Bureau Veritas (India) Pvt. Ltd., elaborates on the company’s services for the renewable sector. He highlights the rapid growth of solar and other renewable sources in India, shares insights on the country’s progress in hydrogen, and underscores the growing interest of global players in India’s green energy market. The following are the key takeaways from his engaging discussion.
Q: What types of services does Bureau Veritas offer for the renewable energy sector?
A: In the renewable energy space, Bureau Veritas supports manufacturers and project developers across the entire value chain. For solar panel manufacturers, we conduct comprehensive testing, inspection, vendor technical assessments, and technical due diligence, ensuring quality, reliability, and compliance at every stage.
For EPC companies, our involvement extends from concept to commissioning. During the CAPEX phase, we provide end-to-end support, including environmental and social impact assessments, geotechnical investigations, engineering design reviews, vendor assessments, procurement services, construction supervision, and commissioning support. Each step is designed to minimize risk, enhance efficiency, and uphold international standards.
Once a project moves into the operational phase, our focus shifts to asset management and performance optimization. We offer specialized services in asset performance evaluation, operational audits, and merger and acquisition due diligence, ensuring that assets continue to deliver maximum value throughout their lifecycle.
Q: How do you view the growth of solar and other renewable energy sources in the country?
A: Over the next 25 years, renewable energy will remain at the heart of India’s growth story. The Government of India is now placing strong emphasis on developing the hydrogen economy, recognizing its potential to redefine the country’s energy landscape. Since green hydrogen production relies heavily on renewable power, the demand for clean energy will surge exponentially. As a result, the renewable energy sector is expanding at an unprecedented pace, driving innovation, investment, and transformation across the nation.
Q: You mentioned that hydrogen is the next big thing. How do you see its future, and how is India progressing in this area?
A: Having worked in the hydrogen sector for the past five years and collaborated closely with global teams, I believe India is exceptionally well positioned in the global hydrogen landscape. The country has moved decisively from pilot and R&D initiatives to the execution of large-scale, commercial projects.
Major developments such as AM Green’s ongoing project, ACME’s initiatives in Oman and Odisha, and SECI’s recent allocation of nearly five million metric tonnes for off-takers demonstrate the sector’s rapid evolution and growing maturity.
What truly sets India apart is the government’s holistic approach to building the hydrogen ecosystem. Through its comprehensive policy framework, the government is addressing every stage of the value chain, from manufacturing under the Make in India initiative, to production, distribution, and end-use consumption. By integrating all these elements, India is creating one of the most robust and self-sustaining hydrogen ecosystems in the world.
Q: What level of interest are global players showing in the Indian renewable energy market?
A: In the renewable energy market, global players are making significant inroads into India, actively investing and acquiring assets to strengthen their foothold. Major energy giants such as Shell and TotalEnergies are investing heavily in partnerships and projects with leading Indian developers, including Adani, EDF, Eden Renewables, and ENGIE. This growing international participation underscores India’s position as one of the most attractive and dynamic destinations for renewable energy investment worldwide.
