This flagship energy event of the Government of India is being held under the patronage of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and is being organised by the Federation of Indian Petroleum Industry (FIPI).
Since its inception in 2023, the India Energy Week has grown from strength to strength. 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 participating, underlying the growing global appeal of the event.
IEW 2025 will be bigger than ever with unparalleled global participation, including 20+ Foreign Energy Ministers and Deputy Ministers representing advanced economies, the largest energy producers, and key nations of the global south.
The event will also feature heads of leading international organisations and 90 CEOs from some of the world’s largest Fortune 500 energy companies including bp, TotalEnergies, QatarEnergy, ADNOC, Baker Hughes and Vitol.
IEW 2025 features seven key strategic themes – Collaboration, Resilience, Transition, Capacity, Digital Frontiers, Innovation, and Leadership, with greater emphasis on pragmatic solutions for decarbonisation, 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, digitalisation, and maritime decarbonisation. The conference's structured stages—Resilience and Transition—align perfectly with India's dual goals of energy independence and decarbonisation, 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.
IEW 2025 have seen a 29 percent increase in abstract received and a 24 percent 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, the 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 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.”
IEW 2025 will feature impactful side events to foster global collaboration and innovation in the energy sector. Key among them is the Clean Cooking Ministerial, which will focus on accelerating the global adoption of clean cooking solutions. This event offers India an opportunity to showcase its success stories, such as the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), as a model for driving access to clean cooking energy.
Additionally, IEW 2025 will host high-impact conferences and roundtables to advance India’s energy transition and improve ecosystem efficiencies like International Conference of Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Boards - 2025 by PNGRB, a session on Decarbonisation of India’s Transport moderated by Bloomberg, and a roundtable on AI for Energy moderated by S&P Global Commodities solidifying IEW 2025 as a hub for actionable insights, transformative innovation, and strategic partnerships in the global energy landscape.
In line with India’s commitment to fostering a thriving startup ecosystem and promoting innovation, IEW 2025 will also host the Avinya Energy Startup Challenge 2.0. The top five startups from this challenge will gain exclusive access to showcase their cutting-edge solutions at the event, significantly boosting their global visibility and impact.
The winners of the Technical Papers presentation, selected from nearly 3,000 submissions, will have the opportunity to present their groundbreaking solutions.
Highlighting the skilled human capital available in the country, special stress is being laid on engaging students and educational institutions in the event. Special workshops/masterclasses are being organised by international experts for students/entrepreneurs/innovators in India. These masterclasses are being provided free of cost.
More than just a conference, IEW has distinguished itself as one of the most comprehensive and most significant energy events organized by a major energy-consuming country, and it is now the fastest-growing energy event globally. IEW 2025 will build on this momentum, marking a watershed moment in the global energy dialogue.
