Positioned Sterlite, Serentica & Resonia to offer integrated solutions for transmission, clean energy: Pratik Agarwal
Sterlite Group’s demerger to create Sterlite Electric and Resonia is an attempt to unlock full potential of the two entities in the Power sector, which coupled with Serentica Renewables creates a robust value chain offering integrated solutions across transmission, products and clean energy. In February last year, Sterlite Power demerged its business creating Sterlite Electric for manufacturing transmission cables and equipment and Resonia for the transmission infrastructure business.

Policymakers describe India’s transmission push in big numbers – kilometres of lines added, voltages upgraded, capital outlays committed. But the real test is whether the grid can reliably move clean electricity from generation points to consumption centres. These infrastructure investments should enable dependable power flows, not congestion or curtailment. A serious example is Rajasthan’s recent curtailment crisis, which shows why that expectation is not guaranteed.
