New Delhi, Jan 23

The 'India Energy Week 2026' will serve as a platform for concrete business outcomes, with several major agreements and memoranda of understanding proposed to be signed during the event in Goa from January 27-30, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Friday.

The minister said that a series of key side events and roundtables will be organised alongside the main conference. These include the 9th Prime Minister's Roundtable, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with global CEOs, Indian public sector undertakings and private sector leaders, including senior executives from leading global energy and technology companies.

The event is expected to bring together global energy ministers, industry leaders, policymakers, financial institutions, academia, and technology providers at a defining moment for the global energy sector.

The platform will focus on strengthening energy security, catalysing investment and advancing practical decarbonisation pathways, said the minister.

IEW 2026 is expected to be the largest edition so far, with over 75,000 delegates, more than 600 exhibitors, including 180 international exhibitors, over 500 global speakers and 120+ conference sessions.

At least 17 Ministers and Deputy Ministers from countries including the UAE, Canada, the Netherlands, Oman, Brunei, Myanmar, Tanzania and others have confirmed their participation, along with international organisations such as the International Energy Forum, BIMSTEC and the Eurasian Economic Union, said Puri.

The exhibition will be organised across 11 thematic zones hosted by leading public sector undertakings, covering areas such as digitalisation and AI, hydrogen, renewable energy, petrochemicals, biofuels, LNG ecosystem, city gas distribution, Make in India and net-zero solutions, with new additions including a Nuclear Energy Zone and a Sustainable Aviation Fuel Zone.

Eleven country pavilions, including Japan, the US, Germany, the UK, Netherlands, Norway, Canada, Russia and China, will further strengthen international engagement, said Puri.

Impressive scale and international participation. The focus on hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel is forward-thinking. My only hope is that the "concrete business outcomes" benefit our domestic MSMEs and startups too, not just the big PSUs and global giants.

Good to see the Nuclear Energy Zone getting a spotlight. For a country with our energy needs, nuclear is a must for a stable, low-carbon base. Partnerships with countries like Russia, US, and France (hopefully they join too) are key. Jai Vigyan!

As someone working in the clean tech space, the inclusion of a Digitalisation & AI zone is very encouraging. The real decarbonisation pathway will be paved by smart tech managing our grids and consumption. Looking forward to the speaker sessions.

While the event sounds grand, I hope the discussions move beyond seminars and MoUs. We need faster implementation on the ground. The city gas distribution network expansion, for example, has been too slow in many states. Action matters more than announcements.

Seeing China have a country pavilion is interesting. Geopolitics aside, we need to engage with everyone on technology. But hope our negotiators are sharp. We must get the best tech transfer deals for Make in India, especially in solar manufacturing.
