Suzlon Group has announced a restructuring of its leadership framework and the appointment of Ajay Kapur as Group Chief Executive Officer, effective February 24, 2026. These changes accompany the introduction of the “Suzlon 2.0” strategy, which outlines the company’s transition from a wind energy specialist to a diversified renewable energy provider.
This organisational shift marks the commencement of the “Suzlon 2.0” vision, which aims to expand the group’s operations beyond its traditional leadership in wind energy. The new strategy focuses on building integrated capabilities across solar energy, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and emerging green technologies to provide comprehensive turnkey solutions to global customers.
As part of the restructuring, J P Chalasani has been elevated to the Group Executive Council (GEC). In this strategic role, he will work closely with the Chairman and Managing Director, Vinod Tanti, and the Executive Vice Chairman, Girish Tanti. His focus will remain on high-level strategic initiatives, strengthening stakeholder partnerships, and incubating new business opportunities that align with the group’s long-term growth agenda.
The appointment of Ajay Kapur as Group CEO brings over 36 years of industrial experience to the organisation. Previously serving as Managing Director of Ambuja Cements, Kapur is tasked with leading the group’s business transformation, scaling operations, and ensuring management excellence across all existing and future business verticals.
The formation of the GEC serves as a strategic body to steer the group’s medium- and long-term priorities, including capital allocation and portfolio diversification. Simultaneously, an Executive Management Council led by the Group CEO will oversee the daily operational performance and the execution of growth projects.
“Suzlon is at a pivotal juncture as we transition from being a wind energy specialist to an integrated renewable energy solutions provider,” said Girish Tanti, Executive Vice Chairman. “This new leadership structure provides the focus required to manage our expanding scale while maintaining the strategic agility needed in a rapidly evolving global energy market.”
The leadership expansion coincides with Suzlon’s reinforced commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. The group remains the first Indian energy company to join the RE100 initiative, pledging to power all 15 of its manufacturing facilities with 100% renewable energy by 2030.
With an installed capacity exceeding 21.5 GW across 17 countries, the Group’s refined organisational architecture is designed to leverage increasing demand for hybrid and firm-dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) projects. By integrating diverse technologies, Suzlon aims to optimise the cost of energy and deliver enhanced value to its 1,900+ global customers.
