New Delhi, October 31, 2025: Marking a significant milestone in India’s renewable energy journey, Informa Markets in India, the nation’s leading organizer of B2B growth platforms, commenced the 18th edition of Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo today at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida. Co-located with the 3rd edition of The Battery Show India (TBSI), the three-day event, running from October 30 to November 1, 2025, aims to strengthen global collaboration, innovation and investment in advancing India’s clean energy ecosystem.
Together, REI and TBSI represent the most influential gathering in South Asia’s clean energy landscape, uniting global manufacturers, innovators, investors and policymakers under the unified theme, “Decoding Pathways to Achieve Net Zero.”
Leaders & Global Dignitaries Grace the Inauguration Ceremony
The inauguration of India’s iconic show on innovative renewable energy and battery solutions was graced in the presence of key dignitaries such as Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Director General, TERI; Mr. Debashish Das, Head RE Nodal Agency, Govt. of Odisha; Shri. Manu Srivastava, Additional Chief Secretary, Power and Renewable Energy Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh; Mr. Peter Hall, President, IMEA Region, Informa Markets, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India and Mr. Rajneesh Khattar, Senior Group Director, Informa Markets in India.
Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Director General, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), said “ India has already achieved 127 GW of installed solar capacity and is progressing steadily towards the 500 GW non-fossil energy target by 2030, a milestone that highlights India’s leadership in clean energy transition. With initiatives such as the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the Production-Linked Incentive scheme for solar and battery manufacturing and the National Manufacturing Mission, the government is fostering a strong domestic value chain. At TERI, decades of research, capacity building and partnerships have been directed toward unlocking India’s estimated 10,800 GW solar potential and advancing Agri-photovoltaic models that drive rural growth. The focus now must shift toward viewing sustainability as a strategic enabler of industrial competitiveness and inclusive development.”
Shri Manu Shrivastava, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh, New & Renewable Energy department, said “India’s renewable energy sector today stands at the intersection of innovation, economic viability, and environmental stewardship. Having pioneered sub-₹3 per unit tariffs without subsidies and powered nearly 65% of Delhi Metro’s daytime demand, we have now reached another historic milestone delivering round-the-clock solar-plus-storage power at ₹2.70 per unit (around 3 US cents). Supported by global partners including the World Bank, IFC, ADB, and UC Berkeley, this achievement underscores how transparent bidding, effective risk mitigation, and investor confidence can create world-class benchmarks. The recently floated 440 MW solar-plus-storage project in Morena, Madhya Pradesh, with 95% availability for four peak hours through BESS, has established in India that solar energy remains viable even when stored and supplied during non-solar hours, a defining leap towards energy reliability and sustainability.”
Mr. Debashish Das, Head RE Nodal Agency, Govt. of Odisha, said “Odisha stands at a pivotal juncture in its energy transition a mineral-rich state that contributes nearly 25% of India’s coal reserves and produces close to 40% of the nation’s steel, along with substantial aluminium and cement output. Yet, as the second-largest greenhouse gas emitter, the state recognizes the urgency of shifting toward cleaner energy. Under the Odisha Renewable Energy Policy aligned with Viksit Odisha 2026 and Viksit Bharat 2047, we are prioritizing renewable adoption through initiatives like floating solar projects across our 2.25 lakh sq. km of water reservoirs and pump storage opportunities. These efforts not only safeguard fertile land but also open doors for international collaboration in clean energy. Our vision is to make energy in Odisha affordable, accessible and sustainable, transforming it into a tool of economic empowerment and positioning the state as a preferred investment destination in India’s renewable landscape.”
Sharing perspective on the co-located expos, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, said, “India’s clean energy transition is accelerating faster than ever, with renewable capacity surpassing 250 GW in 2025 and a strong pipeline targeting 500 GW by 2030. The Ministry of Power has approved a ₹5,400 crore Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme for 30 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), in addition to 13.2 GWh already underway, which is expected to attract ₹33,000 crore in investments by 2028. Platforms like Renewable Energy India Expo and The Battery Show India, celebrating its largest ever edition, are key to driving this evolution, serving as a confluence of innovation, policy insights and cross-sectoral collaboration. With focused forums such as the Battery Tech Conference addressing the roadmap for advanced manufacturing, sustainable systems and circular economy practices, this year’s edition stands as a powerful testament to India’s growing leadership in the global clean energy value chain.”
