It will serve as a space for global stakeholders to exchange ideas and explore collaborative opportunities on key energy projects, including green hydrogen technologies, solar innovations, and advanced exploration methods.
IEW 2025 will also see participation from major Indian energy ministries such as the Ministry of Power, MNRE, NITI Aayog, and the Ministry of Mines, underlining India’s commitment to integrated energy solutions.
One of the highlights of the event will be the Sustainable Mobility Pavilion, presented by SIAM, featuring 15 vehicle models from 10 manufacturers under the theme “People-Centric Mobility Ecosystem”.
The Minister encouraged attendees to explore pioneering technologies developed by Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), including ONGC’s deep-sea simulation game, HPCL’s indigenous Solid Oxide Fuel Cell System, BPCL’s LPG cylinder ATM, and CSIR’s e-tractor for sustainable agriculture.
On the sidelines of IEW 2025, the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas will host a Clean Cooking Ministerial, which will bring together global policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to accelerate the transition to clean cooking solutions. This initiative will highlight India’s success with the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), showcasing it as a model for global adoption. The minister emphasized that the event would aim to foster international collaboration, drive policy discussions, and facilitate technology sharing to ensure clean, affordable, and accessible cooking energy worldwide.
IEW 2025 will feature unprecedented global participation, including over 20 foreign energy ministers and deputy ministers from leading economies, major energy producers, and key global south nations. Additionally, 90 CEOs from some of the world’s largest Fortune 500 energy companies will attend.
The event will focus on seven key strategic themes: Collaboration, Resilience, Transition, Capacity, Digital Frontiers, Innovation, and Leadership, with an increased emphasis on practical solutions for decarbonization, energy equity, and low-carbon economies. This year’s conference will feature 20 thematic categories—up from 18 in 2024—reflecting a broader focus on emerging issues like AI, digitalization, and maritime decarbonization.
With structured stages dedicated to Resilience and Transition, IEW 2025 will align perfectly with India’s dual goals of achieving energy independence and decarbonization, ensuring relevance to both global and national agendas.
