This isn't random. ReNew has been aggressively mapping indian states based on renewable corridor potential, port access, and global export viability for green hydrogen.AP hits all three.Solar manufacturing? — check.
Hybrid renewable clusters? — check.
Green hydrogen for export via ports? — check.
Energy storage? — essential for industrial estates? — check.This investment isn’t a standalone project.
It’s the creation of a renewable empire tied directly to global energy transition mandates.Dot 2: Tillman’s ₹15,000-crore hyperscale data center.

the two pillars of tomorrow’s global competitiveness.Dot 4: job creation that reshapes the talent pipeline.
10,000 jobs isn’t huge — but these jobs are high-value, specialized, and future-ready.Green hydrogen engineers.
Battery storage technicians.
Data infrastructure specialists.
Cloud security analysts.AP is quietly shifting from traditional employment to next-gen value employment.Dot 5: The long game.
This is where analysts raise eyebrows:
