Suzlon Energy has appointed Ajay Kapur as its Group Chief Executive Officer and announced the formation of a new executive council as the renewable energy major sharpens its strategy to expand beyond its traditional wind power business.
Kapur, who previously served as Managing Director of Ambuja Cements, will take charge of driving the company’s overall growth, strengthening operational performance, and steering its diversification into emerging clean energy segments. The move is part of Suzlon’s broader effort to transform into a multi-business renewable energy solutions provider.
The newly constituted executive council will work closely with the leadership team to accelerate decision-making, improve cross-functional collaboration and support long-term value creation. The council brings together senior leaders from key verticals to focus on strategic priorities, including new technologies, project execution, and customer engagement.
Suzlon said the leadership restructuring comes at a time when India’s renewable energy sector is witnessing rapid expansion and increasing demand for integrated clean energy solutions. With a stronger balance sheet and a robust order book, the company is looking to scale operations, explore opportunities in hybrid and round-the-clock renewable projects, and enhance its service offerings.
Kapur brings over three decades of experience across cement, building materials and energy-intensive industries, with a track record in business transformation, cost optimisation and growth strategy. His expertise in managing large-scale operations and leading high-performance teams is expected to support Suzlon’s next phase of expansion.
Company Chairman Tulsi Tanti highlighted that the new structure will enable faster execution and sharper strategic focus as Suzlon aims to capture emerging opportunities in India’s fast-growing clean energy market.
