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.

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.
