Efforts to accelerate investments and new projects in India's renewable energy sector have gained strong momentum, starting with a major preparatory event in Rajasthan. The first regional roadshow for the India Renewable Energy Summit and Expo 2026 was hosted at the ITC Sheraton Hotel in Jaipur. The gathering brought together government officials, industry leaders, and key stakeholders from the clean energy domain. These regional roadshows are being conducted across various states ahead of the main summit scheduled to take place at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi from November 2 to November 5, aimed at uniting investors and partners on a single platform.
Why Jaipur Was Chosen for the First Roadshow
The decision to hold the inaugural roadshow in Jaipur holds significant importance. Rajasthan ranks among the country's leading states in both solar and wind energy generation. Large-scale solar and wind projects are currently operational across the state, and the potential for future investments in this sector remains exceptionally high. Rajesh Kulhari, Joint Secretary of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, attended the program and shed light on the current scenario and future targets of clean energy in the country. India has set a target of developing 500 gigawatts of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, and Rajasthan's role in achieving this milestone is considered vital.
Global Participation From 75 Nations
The main event of the India Renewable Energy Summit and Expo 2026, scheduled from November 2 to 5 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, is being shaped as a massive international congregation. Preparations indicate that more than 20 state governments will participate in the summit. Additionally, attendees from 75 countries are expected to arrive. The event will also feature over 250 high-level delegates from various parts of the globe.
Extensive Sessions and Speaker Lineup
During the summit, over 80 specially curated sessions will be conducted, featuring nearly 500 speakers. These sessions will focus on discussions surrounding renewable energy, investment opportunities, emerging technologies, and the future of power. Green hydrogen networking and international solar energy cooperation have been designated as the core themes of the summit. The primary objective is to foster collaboration and investment prospects in clean energy between India and other nations.
India's renewable energy production has successfully crossed the 300-gigawatt mark, and the government's sights are now firmly set on the 2030 target of 500 gigawatts. Achieving this goal requires substantial investments, new projects, and modern technology, making the summit a critical platform for the entire sector. The Jaipur roadshow served as a crucial discussion ground for industry players and government officials to deliberate on future prospects, highlighting Rajasthan's robust standing in solar and wind power.
Exhibition Featuring Over 400 Exhibitors
The main summit in Delhi is slated to feature an exhibition with over 400 exhibitors alongside more than 25 knowledge partners. The exhibition will showcase cutting-edge technologies, products, and solutions related to renewable energy, giving companies, investors, and experts a direct networking opportunity. The Jaipur roadshow marks the first vital stepping stone toward this grand event, setting the stage for discussions involving 20 plus state governments, 75 nations, 250 high-level delegates, and 500 speakers in November.
