The event will witness convening of global policymakers and energy leaders to drive the dialogue on India’s efforts to address rising energy demand through a convergence of biofuels, green hydrogen, renewable energy (RE) and conventional energy.

Pivotal role

As a rapidly developing country, and the world’s third largest energy consumer, India’s energy transition will play a pivotal role in global energy markets. The IEW comes at a critical time with the challenges of energy security and environmental sustainability impacting long-term energy transition and paths towards decarbonisation.

Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri will be welcoming his international energy counterparts to drive critical dialogue and take decisive steps to navigate the evolving energy scenarios.

The international exhibition will feature an India experience zone, future mobility zone, bio-energy zone and special pavilions including the Petronet LNG pavilion, Make in India pavilion and Waste to Energy pavilion among others where over 650 exhibiting companies will present their solutions for India, and the global marketplace.
