India’s Solar Future Takes Center Stage: India Solar Week 2026 Opens This Wednesday with MNRE Support

16th Edition Convenes 80+ Industry Leaders to Address Grid Integration, Storage Scale-Up, and Distributed Energy – February 18-19, Yashobhoomi Convention Center, New Delhi

With India’s renewable capacity surging past 200 GW and ambitious targets of 500 GW by 2030 on the horizon, the nation’s solar sector faces a critical inflection point. This Wednesday, India Solar Week 2026 brings together the country’s most influential voices in clean energy to tackle the pressing questions: How do we integrate renewable power at scale? What financing models unlock storage deployment? And how can distributed energy transform India’s power landscape?

Organized with the proud support of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the two-day conference & exhibition at Yashobhoomi Convention Center positions itself as the essential gathering for anyone driving India’s energy transition.

What’s New This Year: Key Themes Shaping the Agenda

India Solar Week 2026 reflects the sector’s evolution, with new focus areas addressing the industry’s most urgent challenges:

• Grid Readiness & Transmission Infrastructure: As renewable capacity grows, grid integration becomes critical. Sessions examine inter-state transmission planning, forecasting accuracy, and balancing mechanisms.
• Energy Storage as Firm Power: With battery costs declining, discussions shift from ‘if’ to ‘how’ – exploring commercial pathways, grid services revenue, and hybrid RE+storage models that deliver dispatchable clean energy.
• Consumers Becoming Power Producers: Day 2’s keynote plenary examines distributed renewable energy (DRE) and how rooftop solar, microgrids, and two-way power flow are transforming consumers into active participants in India’s energy system.
• Green Hydrogen’s Investment Case: Moving beyond policy announcements, a leadership roundtable dives into bankability, offtake agreements, and the pathway from pilot projects to scalable deployment.
• RPO Market Evolution: Renewable Purchase Obligations are evolving from compliance tools to market enablers – sessions explore certificate trading, enforcement mechanisms, and new demand drivers. 

 Strategic Knowledge Partners Anchor Technical Insights

India Solar Week 2026 has partnered with leading industry organizations to ensure discussions are grounded in real-world data, policy expertise, and market intelligence:

India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA)

As India’s premier alliance for energy storage technologies, IESA brings critical perspective on battery deployment, grid-scale storage economics, and manufacturing localization. Their involvement ensures storage discussions are anchored in practical deployment roadmaps and emerging business models.

Sustainable Projects Developers Association (SPDA)

Representing the developer community’s voice, SPDA contributes ground-level insights on project execution challenges, regulatory bottlenecks, and financing realities. Their knowledge partnership ensures sessions address the practical concerns of those building India’s renewable infrastructure.

These knowledge partners, alongside supporting organizations including the Council for Energy Transition and Climate Action, Rajasthan Solar Association, Green Finance Alliance, Future Energy Leadership Alliance, and India Net Zero Alliance, create an ecosystem approach to conference content.

Who’s Speaking: Decision-Makers Shaping India’s Clean Energy Path

The conference brings together an exceptional cohort of senior leaders from across the renewable energy value chain. Attendees will hear from:

• Policy Leadership: Mr. Jeevan Kumar Jethani (Scientist F, MNRE) and Mr. Ashok Kumar Rajput (Chairman ETDC of BIS, Former Member Power Systems, CEA) provide regulatory perspective
• Major Developer CEOs: Mr.Sanjay Banga (Tata Power Renewable Energy), Mr. Amit Mittal (Jindal India Renewable Energy), Mr. Sandeep Kashyap (Purvah Green Power), Mr. Vinay Pabba (Vibrant Energy), Mr. Ranjit Gupta (Ocior Energy)
• Industry Association Leaders: Mr. Nitin Agarwal (Rajasthan Solar Association) and Mr. Prafulla Patnaik (Delhi Management Association – Energy Transition)

These voices represent billions in deployed capital, gigawatts of operational capacity, and years of on-the-ground execution experience.

Why Attend: What You’ll Gain

• Unfiltered Market Intelligence: Hear directly from CEOs managing multi-GW portfolios about what’s working, what’s not, and where capital is flowing
• Policy Clarity: Engage with MNRE leadership and regulators on the frameworks shaping deployment over the next 2-3 years
• Technology Updates: Techno-commercial presentations from leading equipment providers (including Diamond Partner Deye Inverter) on next-gen solutions
• Strategic Connections: Access to India’s top 200 solar decision-makers – developers, financiers, EPC firms, and technology providers
• Emerging Opportunities: Explore floatovoltaics, green hydrogen, DRE platforms, and AI-driven asset management through focused roundtables

Two Days, Sharp Focus

Day 1 – Wednesday, February 18: Utility-Scale Deployment & Grid Integration

Opening plenary on policy clarity, grid readiness, and execution confidence sets the stage. Sessions dive into RPO market dynamics, engineering excellence for utility-scale projects, portfolio financing, floatovoltaics deployment, and green hydrogen’s pathway to bankability.

Day 2 – Thursday, February 19: Distributed Energy & Consumer Power Models

Keynote plenary explores how consumers are becoming energy producers through rooftop solar and decentralized grids. Panels examine DRE policy pathways, scalable business models, AI integration, RE+storage commercial pathways, and EPC execution at scale.

India Solar Week Leadership Awards 2026

The conference culminates with recognition of organizations and professionals demonstrating innovation, execution excellence, sustainability leadership, and measurable impact across India’s solar and clean energy value chain.
