Mohit Bhargava, former CEO of NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL) and Executive Director of RE at NTPC Ltd, spearheaded NTPC’s renewable energy initiatives across India. Under his 55-month leadership of the RE vertical, NTPC’s RE pipeline surged from 1 GW to over 25 GW, including operational, under-construction, and planned projects with firm off-take agreements. He also initiated pilot projects in Green Hydrogen. His tenure set NGEL on course to achieve 60 GW+ capacity by 2032, with the subsidiary now holding the highest credit rating (matching NTPC’s).

With over 35 years of experience, Mohit’s expertise spans power plant commissioning, maintenance, procurement, and planning. He played a crucial role in developing NTPC’s long-term Corporate Plans, setting annual targets, and implementing strategic growth initiatives.

An Electrical Engineer by training, Mohit has undergone leadership programs at Harvard Business School and S.P. Jain Institute, Singapore. He served as a nominee Director for various NTPC joint ventures and subsidiaries.

Currently, Mohit advises the IECC leveraging his extensive experience in India’s largest power generating company (75+ GW installed capacity). He brings a practitioner’s perspective and a deep understanding of the political economy of the power sector in India, helping translate research insights into practical applications and policies.
