What a powerful two days at the FT Energy Transition Summit India, held 16‑17th September at The Taj Mahal Hotel, New Delhi. Thank you to all the senior policymakers, industry leaders, investors and innovators who joined us for keynotes, panels, roundtables and networking opportunities. The discussions were ambitious, far‑reaching, and critical as India accelerates its journey toward net zero. Key Insights from The Summit include: - Balancing Energy Security with Clean Transition Across panels and keynotes from Pralhad Joshi, Minister of New & Renewable Energy, and Praveer Sinha CEO of TATA Power, there was strong agreement that India must continue delivering reliable energy for households and businesses while rapidly scaling up renewables. The challenge is meeting demand, managing intermittency, ensuring grid stability, and avoiding stranded assets. - Finance: Cost of Capital & Investment Gaps A recurring theme was that despite strong policy signals, there remains a funding shortfall. Panels moderated by FT and featuring representatives from BioInnovation Institute (BII) IFC, AMPIN Energy Transition, and others discussed how regulatory clarity, risk mitigation tools, and international capital are critical to fill the gap. India must unlock cheaper capital flows, especially for hard‑to‑abate sectors. - Decarbonising Heavy Industry & Hard‑to‑Abate Sectors Leaders from the steel, metals, manufacturing, and mining sectors including Sandeep Poundrik, Secretary, Ministry of Steel Deshnee Naidoo emphasised the twin pressures of domestic emissions regulation and external pressures such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. They explored how to deploy carbon capture, green hydrogen, hybrid energy mixes, and cleaner industrial processes. - Transport Electrification & Battery Ecosystem To hit ambitious EV targets (30% of new vehicle sales by 2030), more than policy incentives will be needed: large-scale battery manufacturing, supply chain strength, charging infrastructure, and consumer confidence in cost and performance. Several companies shared case studies of what is already working and what bottlenecks remain. - Opportunity & Disruption in Global Trade & Supply Chains The global clean‑energy transition is reshaping trade. India can seize an advantage by developing domestic capacities (solar modules, electrolyser manufacturing, etc.), but rising trade tensions, tariff regimes, and geopolitical risk are complicating supply chain decisions. Panels explored how India can avoid dependence, manage risk, and build resiliency Thank you to our sponsors for this event. Their contributions to the summit helped shape a forward-looking conversation grounded in industry realities and global collaboration.
