Co-located with the 3rd edition of The Battery Show India (TBSI), the three-day event, running from October 30 to November 1, 2025, aims to strengthen global collaboration, innovation, and investment in advancing India’s clean energy ecosystem. Together, REI and TBSI represent the most influential gathering in South Asia’s clean energy landscape, uniting global manufacturers, innovators, investors, and policymakers under the unified theme “Decoding Pathways to Achieve Net Zero.”

Leaders and Global Dignitaries Grace the Inauguration Ceremony

The inauguration of India’s iconic show on innovative renewable energy and battery solutions was graced in the presence of key dignitaries such as Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Director General, TERI; Mr. Debashish Das, Head RE Nodal Agency, Govt. of Odisha; H.R.H Prince of Cambodia Narithipong Norodom, Business Expert & Advisor, CBC Chair for Cambodia; Dr. Ewa Suwara, Deputy Head of Delegation, European Union to India; Dr. Philipp Ackermann, Ambassador of Germany to India; Shri. Manu Srivastava, Additional Chief Secretary, Power and Renewable Energy Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh; Mr. Peter Hall, President, IMEA Region, Informa Markets, Mr Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, and Mr Rajneesh Khattar, Senior Group Director, Informa Markets in India.

Shri Manu Shrivastava, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh, New & Renewable Energy department, said “India’s renewable energy sector today stands at the intersection of innovation, economic viability, and environmental stewardship. Having pioneered sub-₹3 per unit tariffs without subsidies and powered nearly 65% of Delhi Metro’s daytime demand, we have now reached another historic milestone delivering round-the- clock solar-plus-storage power at ₹2.70 per unit (around 3 US cents). Supported by global partners including the World Bank, IFC, ADB, and UC Berkeley, this achievement underscores how transparent bidding, effective risk mitigation, and investor confidence can create world- class benchmarks. The recently floated 440 MW solar-plus-storage project in Morena, Madhya Pradesh, with 95% availability for four peak hours through BESS, has established in India that solar energy remains viable even when stored and supplied during non-solar hours— a defining leap towards energy reliability and sustainability.”

Mr. Debashish Das, Head RE Nodal Agency, Govt. of Odisha, said “Odisha stands at a pivotal juncture in its energy transition a mineral-rich state that contributes nearly 25% of India’s coal reserves and produces close to 40% of the nation’s steel, along with substantial aluminium and cement output. Yet, as the second-largest greenhouse gas emitter, the state recognizes the urgency of shifting toward cleaner energy. Under the Odisha Renewable Energy Policy aligned with Viksit Odisha 2026 and Viksit Bharat 2047, we are prioritizing renewable adoption through initiatives like floating solar projects across our 2.25 lakh sq. km of water reservoirs and pump storage opportunities. These efforts not only safeguard fertile land but also open doors for international collaboration in clean energy. Our vision is to make energy in Odisha affordable, accessible, and sustainable transforming it into a tool of economic empowerment and positioning the state as a preferred investment destination in India’s renewable landscape.”

Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Director General, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), said “ India has already achieved 127 GW of installed solar capacity and is progressing steadily toward the 500 GW non-fossil energy target by 2030, a milestone that highlights India’s leadership in clean energy transition. With initiatives such as the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the Production-Linked Incentive scheme for solar and battery manufacturing, and the National Manufacturing Mission, the government is fostering a strong domestic value chain. At TERI, decades of research, capacity building, and partnerships have been directed toward unlocking India’s estimated 10,800 GW solar potential and advancing agri- photovoltaic models that drive rural growth. The focus now must shift toward viewing sustainability as a strategic enabler of industrial competitiveness and inclusive development.”

Dr. Philipp Ackermann, Ambassador of Germany to India, said “It is heartening to witness such a strong European participation at this year’s Renewable Energy India Expo, with 46 companies from Germany alone showcasing their commitment to India’s clean energy transformation. This growing collaboration reflects how the shift toward low-emission energy systems is not just an environmental imperative but also a powerful business opportunity. Under the Green and Sustainable Development Partnership signed in 2022 between our Prime Minister and the German Chancellor, Germany remains a steadfast partner in advancing renewable energy in India. Our private sector brings cutting-edge technologies and expertise in solar, wind, bioenergy, storage, and green hydrogen, while Indian enterprises contribute scale and dynamism. Together, through initiatives such as the newly established India-German Solar and Wind Energy Working Groups, we aim to build joint manufacturing capacities, mobilize green capital, and create a globally skilled workforce that drives sustainable growth and energy security.”

H.R.H Prince of Cambodia Narithipong Norodom, Business Expert & Advisor, CBC Chair for Cambodia, said “India has long been a valued diplomatic and cultural partner for Cambodia, and we now look forward to taking this relationship to the next level. As Cambodia aims to strengthen its independence and chart a sustainable future, India stands as the right partner to collaborate with in this journey. Renewable Energy India Expo offer valuable opportunities to exchange knowledge, build partnerships, and advance shared goals. Together, we believe that collaboration and mutual understanding will drive stronger progress for both nations.”

Dr. Ewa Suwara, Deputy Head of Delegation, European Union to India, said “According to a recent Asian Development Bank report, India could face a potential GDP loss of up to 24.7% by 2070 due to climate change, highlighting the need for immediate and collective action. In this context, green energy and clean industries are not merely options but imperatives for a sustainable future. The European Union deeply values its partnership with India, especially as both regions stand committed to advancing climate resilience, fostering innovation, and ensuring that ambition is matched by action. Together, through strategic collaboration and shared vision, we can bridge the gap between policy and progress.”

Sharing perspective on the co-located expos, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, said, “India’s clean energy transition is accelerating faster than ever, with renewable capacity surpassing 250 GW in 2025 and a strong pipeline targeting 500 GW by 2030. The Ministry of Power has approved a ₹5,400 crore Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme for 30 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), in addition to 13.2 GWh already underway, which is expected to attract ₹33,000 crore in investments by 2028. Platforms like Renewable Energy India Expo and The Battery Show India, celebrating its largest ever edition, are key to driving this evolution, serving as a confluence of innovation, policy insights, and cross-sectoral collaboration. With focused forums such as the CEO/CXO Conclave, CTO Forum, and Battery Tech Conference addressing the roadmap for advanced manufacturing, sustainable systems, and circular economy practices, this year’s edition stands as a powerful testament to India’s growing leadership in the global clean energy value chain.”

Mr. Peter Hall, President, IMEA Region, Informa Markets, said “The Renewable Energy India Expo and The Battery Show have become defining platforms in South Asia’s clean energy transition, reflecting India’s growing leadership in shaping the global renewable landscape. With renewables now generating over a third of the world’s electricity and global investments in clean energy projected to exceed USD 2 trillion annually by 2030, India stands at the forefront of this progress growing from 76 GW in 2014 to 230 GW in 2025. Together, REI and The Battery Show, creating a comprehensive ecosystem spanning solar, energy storage, e-mobility, bioenergy, and grid innovation. Supported by strong international collaborations from Germany, Japan, Korea, and the European Union, these platforms embody our commitment to innovation, partnership, and sustainable growth. The clean energy transition is a collective journey — one that thrives on courage from policymakers, creativity from entrepreneurs, and collaboration across industries and it is through platforms like these that such transformation becomes possible.”
