As renewable energy becomes central to India’s development strategy, the role of EPC companies has grown in both scale and responsibility. Delivering clean energy infrastructure requires leadership that understands engineering, safety, and execution at ground level. HEFT Energy Private Limited, led by Rajakumar Krishnan, has emerged as a focused EPC organisation built on these principles.
Rajakumar’s professional journey spans more than thirty years across renewable and infrastructure sectors. A Chartered Mechanical Engineer with advanced management education from leading institutions, he has led some of India’s most complex renewable projects. His experience includes the execution of over 8 GW of wind projects and 600 MW of solar installations, placing him among the most experienced EPC leaders in the country.
HEFT Energy was established in 2024 in response to a structural shift within the renewable industry. As OEMs moved away from turnkey EPC models, project owners increasingly sought independent partners capable of managing complete execution. Rajakumar identified this opportunity and built HEFT Energy as an organisation that delivers accountability across the project lifecycle.
With operations based in Mumbai and Chennai, HEFT Energy provides end-to-end EPC solutions across wind, solar, and hybrid energy projects. Its scope includes land acquisition, design and engineering, logistics, heavy lifting, civil construction, electrical infrastructure, substations, transmission systems, and final commissioning. This integrated approach allows the company to maintain control over timelines, quality, and safety.
HEFT Energy’s work contributes directly to India’s renewable energy goals. Each project supports carbon reduction, strengthens energy resilience, and promotes sustainable development. Rajakumar believes EPC companies must act as responsible enablers of national progress, balancing growth with environmental and social accountability.
Execution discipline remains the company’s defining strength. Deep expertise in wind installation and crane operations ensures precise planning and efficient execution. Safety is embedded into every process, supported by Rajakumar’s extensive safety certifications and training credentials. For HEFT Energy, safety is a leadership commitment rather than a procedural formality.
Building HEFT Energy involved entrepreneurial challenges, including regulatory compliance, workforce integration, and establishing credibility in a competitive market. Rajakumar approached these challenges with structured governance, empowered teams, and transparent leadership. These experiences reinforced his belief that strong systems and ethical leadership are the foundation of sustainable enterprises.
Professionally inspired by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Rajakumar views leadership as a responsibility to create long-term impact through technology and integrity. This philosophy shapes HEFT Energy’s organisational culture, where discipline, innovation, and accountability guide execution.
Looking forward, HEFT Energy is focused on expanding into global renewable markets, leveraging its EPC capability and safety-driven execution model. With proven delivery experience and strong leadership, the company aims to become a trusted international EPC partner.
Industry certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, along with awards such as Best Emerging EPC Service Provider and Top 10 EPC Contractor, reflect HEFT Energy’s growing standing. For Rajakumar Krishnan, true success lies in projects delivered safely, teams empowered responsibly, and renewable infrastructure that supports a sustainable future.
