Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, announced that the 4th India Energy Week (IEW) 2026 will take place in Goa from January 27 to 30, 2026. The event is jointly organised by the Federation of Indian Petroleum Industry (FIPI) and dmg events under the patronage of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. IEW 2026 is expected to host over 75,000 attendees, 700+ exhibitors, 550+ speakers, and participants from 120+ countries, with ministers and deputy ministers from 17 countries — including the UAE, Canada, Netherlands, Oman, and Brunei — confirmed to attend. The event will spotlight energy transition strategies, sustainable energy, oil and gas, green hydrogen, biofuels, electrification, and AI in energy management. Eleven thematic zones and 12+ international country pavilions will be featured. IEW 2026 aims to position India as a global leader in the energy transition at scale, consistent with its commitments to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070 and achieve about 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030. India's energy sector is undergoing a structural shift, with renewable energy capacity already exceeding 200 GW, making the forum crucial for discussing financing, technology transfer, and policy frameworks for the clean energy future.
