NEW DELHI, Jan 13: India Energy Week (IEW) 2026, one of the world’s largest and most influential international energy exhibitions and conferences, is set to return to Goa from January 27 to 30, 2026, promising to be a landmark event in the global energy calendar. With participation expected from more than 75,000 energy professionals, over 700 companies and delegates from more than 120 countries, the event will once again place India at the centre of worldwide energy dialogue, innovation and investment.
Now in its fourth edition, IEW 2026 is poised to significantly expand its global footprint through a wide-ranging network of country and public sector enterprise pavilions, each designed to showcase cutting-edge technologies, national energy strategies and future-ready solutions. These pavilions will form the backbone of the exhibition, reflecting not only the scale of the event but also the diversity of approaches being adopted across the world to address energy security, climate change and sustainable development.
A major highlight of IEW 2026 will be the presence of nine international country pavilions, underlining the event’s growing importance as a platform for cross-border collaboration, policy dialogue and industrial partnerships. The participating countries — Canada, Italy, Norway, China, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States — will each present their national perspectives on energy transition, clean technologies, advanced manufacturing and long-term energy security. Through interactive exhibits, live demonstrations and business meetings, these pavilions will offer delegates a comprehensive look into how leading global economies are reshaping their energy systems for a low-carbon future.
Complementing the strong international participation, IEW 2026 will also witness an impressive display of India’s public sector undertakings (PSUs), highlighting the country’s growing technological capabilities and its drive towards self-reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat) in the energy sector. These pavilions will showcase India’s progress across traditional energy domains such as oil and gas, while also spotlighting new and emerging areas including green hydrogen, biofuels, renewable power, electric mobility and digital energy solutions.
A special attraction will be the Make in India / Indigenisation Pavilion, led by Engineers India Limited (EIL). This pavilion will present a wide array of indigenous technologies, locally manufactured equipment and domestic engineering solutions, demonstrating how Indian companies are increasingly capable of meeting global standards. It will also serve as a bridge between large energy companies and MSMEs, start-ups and vendors, encouraging partnerships that strengthen local supply chains and reduce dependence on imports.
The IndianOil Pavilion will offer a panoramic view of India’s energy transformation, highlighting policy-driven growth and large-scale deployment across hydrocarbons, renewables, green hydrogen, biofuels, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), electric vehicle infrastructure and digitalisation. Visitors will be able to explore key initiatives such as hydrogen mobility projects, renewable integration and customer-focused innovations. The pavilion will also host daily Energy Talks, bringing together experts and policymakers to discuss technology-driven change and pathways to sustainability.
Another major feature will be the Industry Biofuels Pavilion, which will display India’s significant achievements in ethanol blending, biodiesel revival, compressed biogas (CBG) deployment and SAF development. Through advanced physical and digital models, the pavilion will showcase integrated biorefineries and innovative routes for converting biomass into green hydrogen, highlighting India’s ambition to build a circular, low-carbon bioenergy ecosystem.
Leading public sector oil and gas companies will further enrich the exhibition. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) will present a suite of R&D-driven indigenous technologies, covering areas such as hydrogen mobility, advanced batteries, biofuels and next-generation manufacturing.
Similarly, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) will focus on its initiatives in artificial intelligence, petrochemical expansion, sustainability, ethanol-blended fuels and investments across the natural gas value chain, reflecting how digitalisation and cleaner fuels are being integrated into India’s energy future.
Together, the international country pavilions and Indian PSU showcases will vividly demonstrate how global collaboration and domestic capability-building are advancing side by side. For delegates, investors and industry leaders, these pavilions will underline IEW 2026’s role as a unique platform where international best practices, national priorities and industrial execution come together.
Held under the patronage of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India, and jointly organised by the Federation of Indian Petroleum Industry (FIPI) and dmg events, India Energy Week 2026 continues to serve as a globally connected forum focused on energy security, affordability and sustainability. With its blend of high-level dialogue, technology exhibitions and business engagement, IEW 2026 is expected to further cement India’s position as a key driver of the global energy transition.
