The targets India has set for itself in the global energy landscape are ambitious. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged investors to take advantage of India’s tremendous opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
Speaking virtually at the India Energy Week 2025 (IEW’25), Modi said that India’s energy goals are fundamentally aligned with the vision for a “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India) and that the next two decades are crucial for transformative progress.
A Land of Investment Opportunities
Aiming to add 500 GW of RE capacity and manufacture 5 million MT of green hydrogen by 2030, the country is one of the global sustainable energy investment hubs. The issuing of fresh bidding rounds for oil and gas assets signals openness and a business-friendly environment for investors.
There are infinite investment opportunities in renewable energy sector. I hope you seize all opportunities in India,” PM Modi said.
India’s energy goals are based on five big pillars:
- Resource Utilization: Tapping nature’s immense energy potential.
- Innovation: Calling upon India’s best minds to design transformative solutions.
- Economic Strength & Political Stability: Building a business-friendly ecosystem.
- Strategic Geography: Diversifying energy trade and positioning India as a key player in global supply chains.
- Commitment to Sustainability: Coupling growth with global environmental goals
India’s Growing Global Energy Footprint
PM Modi said the 21st century belongs to India because not only is the country scripting its own development, but it is also giving direction to the course of global development.
In the last ten years, India has made giant strides in its energy transition:
- Solar power generation has grown 32 times since 2014.
- India has emerged as the third-largest solar power generator in the world.
- The country’s non-fossil fuel capacity has tripled.
- India has become the first G20 country to meet its carbon reduction targets set by the Paris Climate Agreement.
With Indian Railways on track to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, the country’s sustainability goals are not only ambitious but also well within reach.
India Energy Week 2025: A Global Platform for Collaboration
The IEW’25 event would be sprawled over more than 1 lakh square meters, making it the second-largest energy event in the world in terms of ministerial participation, CEO engagement, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
The event will also:
- Foster international collaboration on energy policies.
- Promote the sharing of technologies for cleaner energy solutions.
- Showcase India’s energy success stories as a model for global adoption, including the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY).
Against this backdrop, energy buyers and producers will converge in New Delhi for a landmark event. Indian leadership in the global energy transition is at the forefront because a powerhouse is driven by strong policies, strategic vision, and commitment to sustainable ideas for this renewable revolution.
