India Energy Week 2026 to bring policymakers, CEOs from 120 countries to Goa

Policymakers, business leaders and experts from the technology and financial sectors from 120 countries are set to gather in Goa for India Energy Week (IEW) 2026, where discussions will focus on energy security, boosting investments and advancing decarbonisation pathways.

The global energy forum will be held from January 27 to 30 and is expected to be the first major international energy gathering of the year. A spokesperson for the event organisers said IEW 2026 will focus on strengthening energy security, catalysing investment and advancing practical and scalable pathways for decarbonisation.

As global energy systems navigate rising demand, geopolitical uncertainties and accelerating climate commitments, IEW 2026 will serve as a key platform for dialogue and cooperation.

“Building on the momentum of previous editions, the event is expected to welcome participants from over 120 countries,” the spokesperson said.

The previous edition of India Energy Week saw participation from more than 68,000 attendees, 570 exhibitors and 5,400 conference delegates, with 100 conference sessions featuring over 540 global speakers.

The 2026 edition is expected to expand further, reinforcing IEW’s position among the world’s leading energy dialogue platforms.

“Hosted 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, IEW 2026 provides a neutral and globally connected forum for cooperation on energy security, affordability and sustainability,” the spokesperson said.

Delegations from the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region are expected to participate, highlighting India Energy Week’s growing role in global energy diplomacy.

According to the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2025, India is projected to account for more than 23 per cent of global incremental energy demand by 2050, the largest share for any country.

“Against this backdrop, IEW 2026 will bring policymakers and industry leaders together to deliberate on strengthening resilient energy systems and accelerating the clean energy transition,” the spokesperson added.
