Hon'ble Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri, said: "India Energy Week 2026 is a global convening point for the ideas, technologies and partnerships that will define the next phase of the energy transition. The focus now must be on moving from discussion to implementation — advancing practical solutions through collaboration across governments, industry and financial institutions.

"This year's emphasis on innovation, green finance and scalable clean-energy technologies reflects the urgent need for coordinated global action. By bringing together decision-makers from every region IEW provides the opportunity to turn ambition into impact and strengthen the foundations of a secure, affordable and sustainable energy future for all.

"India has a crucial role to play in shaping the global energy debate. As the world's third-largest energy consumer and fastest-growing major economy, India sits at the crossroads of global demand, supply and transition. We are expanding our clean-energy leadership while ensuring energy security, affordability and sustainability for our people."

He added: "The energy transition will define the global economy of the next century — and India intends not only to keep pace with it, but to help guide it."
