NEW DELHI, JAN 14, 2025: BUILDING the remarkable success of its previous two editions, India Energy Week 2025 (IEW'25), the flagship energy event of Government of India, is being held under the patronage of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, organised by Federation of Indian Petroleum Industry (FIPI), from 11th to 14th February 2025 at the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, New Delhi.

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.

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.

A noticeable improvement is in the seniority of speakers year on year with around 70 CEOs of prominent International and domestic Energy majors underlying the growing global appeal of the event. IEW will be bigger than ever with unparalleled global participation, including 20+ Foreign Energy Ministers and Deputy Ministers representing advanced economies, largest energy producers, and key nations of global south. The event will also feature Heads of leading International Organizations and 90 CEOs from some of the world's largest Fortune 500 energy companies including bp, Total Energies, Qatar Energy, ADNOC, Baker Hughes and Vitol.

IEW 2025 Incorporates seven key strategic themes (Collaboration, Resilience, Transition, Capacity, Digital Frontiers, Innovation, Leadership) with greater emphasis on pragmatic solutions for decarbonization, energy equity, and low-carbon economies.

The inclusion of 20 thematic categories this year, compared to 18 in 2024, highlights a broader focus on cutting-edge issues such as AI, digitalization, and maritime decarbonization. The conference's structured stages-Resilience and Transition-align perfectly with India's dual goals of energy independence and decarbonization, ensuring relevance to global and national agendas alike.

The event is expected to have participation from over 70,000 delegates from 120 countries, 700+ exhibitors, and 10 country pavilions United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia etc. and 8 thematic zones, this flagship event will provide a premier platform to drive the global energy dialogue, showcase breakthrough technologies, and foster international collaboration for a sustainable energy future.

In IEW2025 we have seen a 29% increase in abstract received and a 24% increase in speaker participation, emphasizing IEW's stature as a platform for industry innovation. 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."
