The government expects India Energy Week (IEW) 2025, to be held in New Delhi from February 11-14th, to provide a platform to drive global energy dialogue, showcase breakthrough technologies, and foster international collaboration for a sustainable energy future.

India’s key energy event would shape global energy discussions for the year, said Pankaj Jain, secretary, ministry of petroleum and natural gas.

“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,” said Jain.

The government had launched India Energy Week in 2023.

“The first major global event of the energy calendar, IEW 2025, is poised to be the most comprehensive and inclusive global energy gathering of the year,” the government said in a press release.

IEW 2025 would 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 solution, govt said.

The event is expected to have participation from over 70,000 delegates from 120 countries, 700+ exhibitors, and 10 country pavilions including United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, among others and eight thematic zones.

“Since its inception in 2023, the India Energy Week has grown from strength to strength. IEW 2025 has surpassed other international energy events. This year’s edition marks a significant leap over its predecessor, showcasing elevated leadership participation and more dynamic discussions,” said government.

IEW 2025 incorporates seven key strategic themes including collaboration, resilience, transition, capacity, digital frontiers, innovation and leadership, with greater emphasis on pragmatic solutions for decarbonization, energy equity, and low-carbon economies.
