New Delhi, March 18

India's flagship global conference-cum-exhibition for the power and electricity sector, Bharat Electricity Summit 2026 will convene global power leaders here to deliberate on key priorities shaping India's evolving electricity ecosystem, the government said on Wednesday.

The summit will be held from March 19-22 at Yashobhoomi here, bringing together senior policymakers, regulators, academia, sector experts, utilities, investors, innovators and industry leaders for high‑level technical sessions, an official statement said.

The summit, themed "Electrifying Growth. Empowering Sustainability.

It will feature over 100 high‑level conference sessions, over 300 speakers, representatives from more than 80 countries, over 500 exhibitors including over 100 startups.

More than 25,000 visitors are expected to attend the event, making it one of the largest electricity-focused platforms globally.

The summit will focus on vendor development under the 'Make in India' initiative, and on advancing the indigenisation of cross emission systems, solar power, energy storage, transmission infrastructure and digital distribution technologies, the statement from Ministry of Power said.

The government highlighted investment opportunities of over Rs 50 lakh crore in generation, transmission, distribution and storage through 2032.

The participation of state governments will facilitate critical dialogue on strengthening India's electricity framework, accelerating renewable energy integration, modernising grid infrastructure and enhancing power distribution efficiency across the country.

Exhibition spanning over 20,000 sq. metre area, will showcase cutting-edge technologies, innovations and solutions across the electricity value chain.

"The exhibition will be organised across thematic zones covering power generation, transmission, renewable and clean energy, energy storage, distribution and smart grid technologies, alongside dedicated areas for energy innovation, startups and emerging technologies," the statement said.

Hope this summit leads to real action on the ground. In my city, we still face 4-5 hour power cuts during summer. Modernising the distribution network and integrating more renewables should be the top priority. The focus on startups is good - we need Indian innovations for Indian problems.

Connecting globally is key. We have the sun, we have the talent. Let's learn from global best practices but adapt them for our scale and challenges. 80 countries participating shows the world is watching. India can become a clean energy exporter if we get this right! 💡

As someone working in the renewable sector, the emphasis on energy storage is the most important part. Solar power is great, but without affordable storage for night time, we still need coal plants. Hope the summit delivers concrete plans for battery manufacturing and pumped hydro.

While the scale is impressive, I hope this isn't just another talk shop. We've had many summits before. The real test is whether DISCOMs become financially healthy and stop giving us inflated bills. The statement mentions distribution efficiency - that's where the rubber meets the road.

Great to see the focus on sustainability alongside growth. For too long, development meant pollution. "Electrifying Growth. Empowering Sustainability." - if we can actually do both, it will be a model for other developing nations. The involvement of state governments is critical for implementation.
