Clean energy solutions provider Gentari Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), has appointed energy industry veteran Navjit Gill as its country head for India, effective from July 10.

Gentari has identified India as one of its top markets in its renewable energy push.

"Navjit's vast experience in the Indian energy sector makes him an invaluable addition to the Gentari India team. With India's increasing focus on achieving net zero goals, the country presents extensive opportunities for global private players to contribute," Gentari Chief Executive Officer Sushil Purohit said in a statement on Monday (July 17).

The company said Gentari India's initiatives will complement Gentari's 2030 global aspirations in building a renewable energy capacity of more than 30 gigawatts and supplying more than 700,000 tonnes per year of clean hydrogen.
