India Energy Week 2023

I was very excited to attend India Energy Week 2023 in Bangalore on 8th February. The event was there only for three days from 6th to 8th February 2023. The honourable Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi inaugurated this event on 6th February at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre. “Growth. Collaboration. Transition” was the theme for this year. India is the host for G20 summit in September 2023, so a chain of various events occurring in various parts of India, which is also known as G20 India Presidency.

At COP26 meet, India PM Modi pledged to go zero with carbon emission by 2070. This event in Bangalore was organised under the patronage of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. Hardeep Singh Puri is India’s Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas who was also present at the event on 6th February. The other critical issues which were covered in this event were energy security and environmental sustainability. The high levels of carbon emission impacts poorly on the environment. India anyway is standing at the fourth position in terms of producing carbon footprints in the world. As per the data published in 2021, India produced 7% of the world’s carbon. Bellow mentioned link will throw some more light of this fact.

Top 5 Carbon Footprint Producing Countries in the World


Farm2Fuel is a concept came up to promote bio-mobility in abundance. So many varieties of fuel are available nowadays. These fossil fuel alternatives are not only easily available, but they are beneficial for the environment too. This photo was taken at the stall by Praj Industries Limited headquartered in Pune, India. They are specialised in establishing ethanol plant, brewery plants, water and waste solutions and sustainable aviation fuel.

This was the stall set up my Karnataka government to promote energy business. Since Bangalore was hosting this event, the Chief Minister of Karnataka, Mr. Basavaraj Bommai also participated at the inaugural program. This stall was showing how the hydro projects and various biodiesel projects are coming up in the next coming days.

Reliance Industries is one of those brands, which is promising and come up with innovative business ideas. This year at IEW2023, Reliance exhibited their hydrogen powered truck. Reliance launched this truck in collaboration with Ashok Leyland. It is India’s first Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (H2-ICE) operated heavy duty truck. Hopefully, we can see this amazing truck on the roads very soon.

This image is taken from Chef Ranveer Brar’s Instagram profile. The chef attended the event to promote cooking on solar top. He is the first Indian chef to get the opportunity to cook on the very efficient hybrid indoor solar cook top. Along with Indian Oil Corporation Limited, this cooking range was presented at the event. Chef cooked barnyard millet and Jowar (phonk) with so much of ease.

Ministry of Power, India Government also put up a big stall to promote various types of power energy in India. It is mainly responsible for the evolution in the field of energy. It is also a liaison between the central and state government for electricity operations to every nook and corner. Presently, Mr. Raj Kumar Singh is the in charge of ministry of power.

Last but not the least, I’m posting my photo. Not obsessed, but just wanted to share with you all that how I attended and how I did it all. I find myself to be very grateful to attend such event where I got to know so much about India’s power and energy sector. India is a huge country and in all the systems the ecosystem is very different. We are dwelling in different ways. So this event gave me an idea of that. So I felt attending this event was a good idea over all.
