As India accelerates toward a cleaner and more resilient energy future, the role of EPC companies has become increasingly critical. Turning renewable ambition into operational reality demands execution expertise, safety discipline, and leadership grounded in experience. HEFT Energy Private Limited, under the leadership of Rajakumar Krishnan, has positioned itself as a dependable execution partner in India’s renewable energy ecosystem.
Rajakumar’s professional journey spans over three decades across renewable energy and infrastructure development. A Chartered Mechanical Engineer with advanced training from premier institutions, he has led some of the country’s most complex wind and solar installations. His experience includes the execution of more than 8 GW of wind capacity and 600 MW of solar projects, making him one of the industry’s most seasoned EPC leaders.
HEFT Energy was established in 2024 to address a growing gap in the renewable sector. As OEMs moved toward equipment-only supply models, the need for independent, execution-focused EPC partners became increasingly evident. Rajakumar recognised this shift and built HEFT Energy as a company capable of delivering complete project responsibility—from concept to commissioning.
Operating from Mumbai and Chennai, HEFT Energy provides end-to-end EPC solutions across wind, solar, and hybrid projects. Its services include land acquisition, design and engineering, supply chain management, heavy lifting equipment, civil construction, electrical infrastructure, substations, transmission systems, and final commissioning. This integrated approach enables the company to maintain quality, timelines, and accountability across all project stages.
Beyond execution capability, HEFT Energy’s work contributes meaningfully to India’s sustainability goals. Each project reduces carbon dependence, supports clean power generation, and strengthens the nation’s energy resilience. Rajakumar believes renewable EPC must balance growth with responsibility, ensuring projects are delivered safely and sustainably.
Execution excellence remains HEFT Energy’s defining strength. Deep-rooted experience in wind installation and crane operations enables precise planning and efficient logistics. Safety is embedded at every level of operation, guided by Rajakumar’s global safety certifications and training credentials. For the organisation, safety is not an add-on—it is a core value.
Building HEFT Energy presented entrepreneurial challenges, from regulatory navigation to team alignment and market positioning. Rajakumar approached these challenges with structured systems, empowered leadership, and transparent communication. These experiences reinforced his belief that strong processes and ethical leadership drive long-term success.
Professionally inspired by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Rajakumar views leadership as a responsibility to serve a larger purpose. This philosophy influences HEFT Energy’s culture, where integrity, discipline, and innovation are central to execution.
Looking ahead, HEFT Energy aims to expand into international renewable markets, leveraging its EPC expertise and safety-first approach. With strong systems, skilled teams, and proven execution capability, the company is well-positioned to support global clean energy initiatives.
Industry recognitions including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, along with awards such as Best Emerging EPC Service Provider and Top 10 EPC Contractor, reflect the company’s growing stature. For Rajakumar Krishnan, success ultimately lies in reliable delivery, empowered teams, and renewable infrastructure that stands the test of time.
