NEW DELHI – India's growing demand for power infrastructure and energy transition solutions offers strong investment potential, Siemens Energy India Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Guilherme Mendonca said Thursday.
India offers a strong case for attracting capital, supported by policy stability and long-term visibility, Mendonca said at the Bharat Electricity Summit 2026. Investments in areas such as transformers, grid infrastructure and wind are capital-intensive, with returns spread over 10–15 years and asset life exceeding 30 years, he said.
Nuclear energy in India will become mainstream and widely adopted over the next 2-3 decades, NTPC Ltd. Chairman and Managing Director Gurdeep Singh said. He emphasised the need to strengthen the supply chain and deploy advanced technologies to make nuclear power more affordable.
India offers significant potential in the battery energy storage segment, Power Grid Corp of India Ltd. Projects Director Burra Vamsi Rama Mohan said. End
