In 50 words: India Energy Week 2027 runs February 11–14 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi — India's largest energy policy + investment forum, organized by Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas with cross-MNRE participation. 100,000+ visitors expected. Coverage spans oil & gas, renewables, hydrogen, EV, biofuels. This guide previews the 2027 edition's renewable energy threads and what to watch.
India Energy Week is India's largest annual government-sponsored energy event — broader in coverage than REI Expo or Intersolar India (it covers all energy sources, not just renewables). The Prime Minister typically opens the event. Major Indian and international policy + investment announcements happen here. This guide previews India Energy Week 2027 from a renewables perspective.
The event
India Energy Week 2027 runs February 11–14, 2027 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. Organized by Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas with active participation from MNRE, Ministry of Power, Niti Aayog, and major Indian energy companies (Reliance, ONGC, IOC, Tata Power, Adani, NTPC).
- 100,000+ attendees expected (cross-energy)
- 1,000+ exhibitors and pavilions
- Cross-Ministry coordination — MNRE participation is heavy
- International delegations expected from US, EU, Russia, Brazil, GCC, UAE, Japan, Korea, Africa
- Major policy announcements traditionally launched here
Four renewable energy threads to watch
1. India Green Hydrogen Mission scale-up
India's National Green Hydrogen Mission (launched 2023) targets 5 MMT/year by 2030 with ~125 GW of electrolyser capacity. India Energy Week 2027 will be the venue for SECI Round-3 green hydrogen tender results and the next wave of NTPC, Reliance, Adani, and Indian Oil green hydrogen project announcements. For background, see India green hydrogen progress 2026.
2. National Electricity Plan refresh
The Central Electricity Authority's National Electricity Plan (NEP) is updated every 5 years. The 2026-2027 refresh — likely announced at IEW 2027 — sets generation, transmission, and storage trajectories through 2032. The 2022 NEP targeted 280 GW solar + 140 GW wind by 2030; the 2027 refresh will refine these and add explicit BESS capacity targets (currently absent). See India solar 2030 280GW trajectory.
3. PLI scheme expansion
Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes have driven Indian solar manufacturing scaling 2020-2026. India Energy Week 2027 may announce PLI 2.0 or expanded coverage to wind turbines, electrolysers, or BESS — areas with current import dependence. See India cell PLI list IV 2026 and India solar manufacturing 100GW 2026.
4. India-EU + India-US energy deals
India Energy Week traditionally hosts state-level bilateral energy MoUs. Expect 2027 announcements on:
- India-EU CBAM cooperation framework
- India-US clean energy supply chain alignment
- India-GCC green hydrogen and ammonia export deals
- India-Africa solar and BESS technology transfer
For broader context, see EU CBAM impact on solar imports 2026 and US solar domestic content rules.

| Category | Notable participants (typical) | |---|---| | Indian government | PM, multiple Cabinet ministers, MNRE/MoP/MoPNG secretaries, state CMs | | Indian energy majors | Reliance, ONGC, Indian Oil, NTPC, Tata Power, Adani Group, ReNew, Hero Future, JSW Energy | | International oil | Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, TotalEnergies, Equinor | | International renewables | Iberdrola, EDF, Engie, AES, NextEra (often via India subsidiaries), Mitsubishi, SoftBank | | Investors | Sovereign wealth funds (PIF, ADIA, GIC, Mubadala), infrastructure funds (KKR, Brookfield, Macquarie), MDBs (World Bank, ADB) | | Multilaterals | IEA, IRENA, World Bank, ADB, EU delegation |
Practical notes for attendees
- Location: Bharat Mandapam (Pragati Maidan), Central New Delhi
- Visa: international attendees typically need business visa; allow 2–4 weeks
- Security: heavy security given PM attendance; expect extensive screening
- Best for: policy professionals, investment bankers, large-deal procurement, government relations
- Less ideal for: equipment vendors looking for transactional sales (REI Expo is better for that)
