Our founder Amit Rane moderated a high impact session at Mahar Urja 2026, which brought out special insights from renowned industry experts. What made it truly special was not just the quality of the panel, but the depth of the discussion and the level of audience engagement. Over the course of the session, they addressed some of the most critical questions facing C&I consumers today, from the future of renewable energy procurement and the growing demand for 24x7 clean power, to the economics of #BESS, financing structures, Open Access vs PM #Kusum and the evolving path to net zero.
The insights were practical, thought provoking and grounded in real market experience. Highlights included a deep analysis of Serentica's winning 600 MW / 2400 MWh BESS bid by Sushant Satish, sustainability perspectives from Jyoti Ranjan Tripathy from Jindal Stainless, best practices for BESS deployment from Rajesh Kulkarni of URONยฎ, regulatory insights from Kishor Shinde from #MSEDCL, evolving OA business models by Saurabh Agarwal from Gentari and a comprehensive financial perspective on current BESS bids from Sumit Kishore from Axis Capital.
What stood out most was the consensus across industry, finance, technology and policy leaders that the next phase of India's energy transition will be driven by the convergence of renewable energy, storage and smart procurement strategies.
A big thank you to the panelists, audience and organizers for making it one of the most engaging sessions of the event.
