India Energy Week Curtain Raiser

On 16th December 2022, a curtain raiser of India Energy Week was organized at the Bangalore palace, Bengaluru. It was inaugurated by the Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas & Housing and Urban Affairs, Shri Hardeep S Puri. The curtain raiser was attended by representatives of Global Energy Majors, leading Indian companies from Karnataka including energy, IT, financial companies, members of the international diplomatic community, etc.

The Curtain Raiser marked the beginning of a number of preparatory events being hosted in the run-up to the India Energy week 2023.

What to expect

With an ever-growing population and urbanization, India’s energy demand is expected to increase significantly in the future. India’s energy transition is crucial to the development of the world’s energy markets since it is a fast-rising nation that has surpassed China in population.

The India Energy Week takes place at a crucial juncture when approaches to decarbonization and long-term energy transition are being affected by issues with energy security and environmental sustainability. Hopefully, the event will be able to address some of the challenges in the long-term energy transition.
