Energy Transition Summit 2024 - India | Financial Times Live | 7 October 2024 | TBA, New Delhi, India

India is seen as the market of the future and an essential counterweight to China. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has laid out an ambitious target to build 500 gigawatts of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Currently over 80 per cent of India’s energy needs are met by three fuels: coal, oil and solid biomass, making the country the third-largest global emitter of CO₂. While India has also announced billions in subsidies to manufacture clean-energy technology and wants to become a leading green hydrogen exporter, it is estimated that India requires a minimum of $2.5tn in renewable investments to have a hope of achieving its pledge to become a net zero carbon emitter by 2070. For Indian industry, speeding up the growth of renewables is vital to attracting and competing for the vast sums of money starting to flow into green projects around the world. How can it find a credible pathway to scale up renewables, decarbonise and compete to capitalise on the green opportunities of the global energy transition?

Building on the success of this Summit, the Summit: India will bring together senior leaders from both the Indian and international energy, finance, metals and manufacturing sectors. Expert-led and FT-moderated panel discussions, keynote interviews and debates will provide key insights and practical takeaways on how India can transition to clean energy, the role it can play in the world as a manufacturer of clean energy technology and the decarbonisation of India's manufacturers through scaling renewables, carbon capture and hydrogen.
