Sessions now cover vital topics like future clean power pathways, grid-scale energy storage, and methane mitigation technologies, reflecting the industry’s forward-looking priorities.

The event will witness robust participation from key Indian energy ministries, including the Ministry of Power, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), NITI Aayog, and the Ministry of Mines and Minerals. This reflects a whole-of-government approach, ensuring seamless collaboration and comprehensive engagement across the entire energy sector, underscoring India’s commitment to integrated and inclusive energy solutions.

The event will place a special emphasis on showcasing India’s transformative efforts across the entire energy landscape including strengthening energy security and promoting energy justice, amplifying the voice of the Global South, and unveiling the immense investment opportunities within India’s hydrocarbon sector. It will also spotlight India’s advancements in renewable energy and cutting-edge technologies such as battery storage, 2G and 3G biofuels, green ammonia, and hydrogen production, positioning the nation as a global leader in sustainable and innovative energy solutions.

Highlighting the significance of this prestigious event, Pankaj Jain, Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, remarked, “IEW 2025 offers a platform where global stakeholders can freely exchange ideas, explore opportunities, and witness India’s leadership in navigating complex energy transitions. As a springboard for collaboration on key energy projects, including green hydrogen technologies, solar innovations, or advanced exploration techniques, this event represents a crucible of global energy innovation.”

IEW 2025 will feature impactful side events to foster global collaboration and innovation in the energy sector. Key among them is the Clean Cooking Ministerial, which will focus on accelerating the global adoption of clean cooking solutions. This event offers India an opportunity to showcase its success stories, such as the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), as a model for driving access to clean cooking energy.

Additionally, IEW 2025 will host high-impact conferences and roundtables to advance India’s energy transition and improve ecosystem efficiencies like International Conference of Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Boards – 2025 by PNGRB, a session on Decarbonization of India’s Transport moderated by Bloomberg, and a roundtable on AI for Energy moderated by S&P Global Commodities solidifying IEW’2025 as a hub for actionable insights, transformative innovation, and strategic partnerships in the global energy landscape.
