Suzlon Elevates J P Chalasani and Appoints Ajay Kapur as Group CEO
Renewable energy giant Suzlon Group has announced a new leadership architecture designed to transition the company into a “full-stack” green energy conglomerate.
Central to this “Suzlon 2.0” vision is the appointment of Ajay Kapur as the new Group CEO and the formation of a Group Executive Council (GEC) to steer long-term strategy.
The Shift to Suzlon 2.0
The restructuring marks Suzlon’s evolution from a specialized wind energy solutions provider to an integrated player across the renewable spectrum.
Under the new vision, the company plans to diversify its portfolio to include solar energy, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and other emerging green technologies.
This expansion aims to provide customers with end-to-end integrated renewable solutions rather than standalone components.
Ajay Kapur Appointed as Suzlon Group CEO
Ajay Kapur joins Suzlon with over 36 years of experience, having previously served as the Managing Director of Ambuja Cements (an Adani Group company).
The industry knows him for driving operational excellence and financial stability in heavy industries and power sectors.
He will report directly to Chairman and Managing Director Vinod Tanti.
His primary mandate is to scale the business and lead the newly formed Executive Management Council to ensure sustainable growth during this transformative phase.
Strategic Elevation of J.P. Chalasani
As part of the leadership overhaul, industry veteran J.P. Chalasani has been elevated to the Group Executive Council.
In this strategic role, Chalasani will work closely with the Chairman and the Executive Vice Chairman, Girish Tanti.
His focus will shift toward mentoring senior leadership, maintaining high-level stakeholder partnerships, and incubating new business opportunities.
He remains a Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) within the organization.
Governance and Global Ambition
The new dual-council structure includes the GEC for strategy and the Executive Management Council for operations.
Suzlon designed this system to balance long-term value creation with day-to-day excellence.
Executive Vice Chairman Girish Tanti noted that as global energy markets recalibrate, the new structure allows Suzlon to meet exponential demand with focused leadership.
The announcement comes as Suzlon significantly strengthens its balance sheet and expands its order book.
This progress positions the company to capitalize on India’s aggressive renewable energy targets for 2030.
