India’s electric mobility and clean energy ambitions are set to gain global momentum as government representatives and leading companies from 15 countries come together in New Delhi for the 12th edition of India Energy Storage Week (IESW) 2026, scheduled to be held at Yasho Bhoomi (IICC) from July 8-10.
With e-mobility at the center of this year’s event, IESW 2026 will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, innovators and automotive stakeholders from countries including Germany, Sweden, Australia, Norway, the United States, Japan, Singapore, France and South Korea. The event will serve as a platform to strengthen international cooperation and facilitate exchange of knowledge in key areas such as electric vehicles, battery manufacturing, supply chain localization, battery recycling, sustainable energy storage and green hydrogen.
Expected to attract over 10,000 visitors, 1,000 delegates and 200 exhibitors, IESW 2026 aims to accelerate India’s transition towards sustainable mobility by showcasing the latest advances in clean energy technologies.
The three-day event will also see a number of key industry announcements and report launches. Following the inaugural session, the CES report on energy storage and green hydrogen in India will be unveiled, providing insights into the country’s evolving clean energy landscape. Visitors will also witness the launch of new smart grid solutions aimed at advancing intelligent energy management. On the closing day, the India EV and EV Component Report will be released, which will provide a comprehensive overview of India’s electric vehicle ecosystem, component manufacturing landscape and future supply chain opportunities.
The event will see participation from senior government officials, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and global companies, providing direct access to policymakers and CXOs driving the clean energy agenda. With over 50 conference sessions and five international country pavilions, IESW 2026 will showcase global best practices, emerging technologies and India-specific deployment models. The agenda includes key sessions and dynamic panels, such as “Empowering India’s Future: Energy Storage and Green Hydrogen at the Center of Net Zero”, leadership talks addressing India’s roadmap to 2030, BESS project financing, policy risk mitigation and the role of open energy.
Debamaly Sen, President, India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA), said, “India is at a critical moment in its e-mobility and clean energy journey, and IESW 2026 will serve as a catalyst for global collaboration and investment. By bringing together policymakers, innovators and industry leaders from 15 countries, we are not just sharing ideas; we are shaping the technologies and policies that will shape what is to come. “Will define the energy landscape for decades.”
Technical panels such as “Beyond Lithium: The Next Wave of Storage Technologies” and “From Tenders to Bankability: Cracking Utility-Scale Storage” will address industry challenges and showcase new solutions in sectors such as telecom, data centers, rail and shipping. Additional sessions will highlight advances in green hydrogen, supply chain localization and manufacturing excellence. Keynote discussions on battery manufacturing and recycling, including “Gigafactories or Pipe Dreams? India’s Cell Manufacturing Reality Check” and “Inside the Cell: Cathode, Anode, Electrolyte and the Race for Localization”, will highlight efforts to scale up domestic production and close the loop with circular economy practices.
Vinayak Valimbe, Managing Director, Customized Energy Solutions (CES) said, “The challenges of energy storage, e-mobility and green hydrogen require bold thinking and international partnerships. At IESW 2026, we are convening top minds and organizations from around the world to accelerate progress, open new opportunities for Indian and global stakeholders and make a tangible impact in the transition to a sustainable future.”
The Women in Energy Forum will focus on digital innovation and leadership, while the IESA Awards and 40 Under 40 Honors will celebrate extraordinary achievements. E-mobility will be a key topic, with expert panels on India’s EV race and charging networks, and IESA Masterclasses providing practical, in-depth training for industry professionals.
Exclusive workshops, industry roundtables and international partner pavilions will foster meaningful dialogue and collaboration, helping set the tone for India’s clean energy policy, technology and investment. With a focus on actionable insights, safety standards and inclusion across the entire value chain, IESW 2026 is expected to shape the next wave of innovation and global partnerships in advanced energy storage, e-mobility and green hydrogen.
