The government has pushed through power sector reforms quickly through the covid-19 pandemic, but they will need to be implemented quickly for the industry to take full advantage. In an interview for Mint’s Pivot or Perish series, Vipul Tuli, managing director, Sembcorp Energy India Ltd, said the company has pushed harder on its digital investments across its 4,370MW thermal and renewables portfolio to stay ahead of the curve during the coronavirus crisis. Edited excerpts:
