Can India really compete with China in renewable energy? Dr Faruk Patel, Chairman and Managing Director, KP Group, believes the answer is yes, and not just on manufacturing. Speaking at the NDTV Profit Conclave, he said the new India-US trade deal opens major export opportunities for India's renewable sector as the world actively seeks alternatives to China. While China dominates panel and wafer production, India's real strength lies in building and operating large-scale renewable projects across tough terrains and ensuring their reliability over a 25-year life cycle. His message, the future of global renewables is not only about making equipment, but about executing sustainable, long-lasting projects, and India is best positioned to do that.
