Renewable energy is emerging as a strategic growth segment as demand accelerates from data centers, digital infrastructure, and commercial and industrial expansion. This session will take a closer look at the role of C&I rooftop solar, open access, behind-the-meter storage, and microgrids in delivering reliable, cost-effective, and low-carbon power solutions. Panelists will address investment models, corporate procurement strategies, storage integration, and new revenue streams, and examine how decentralized clean energy can strengthen energy security and drive scalable deployment.

Energy storage is emerging as a critical enabler of a reliable power system as solar and wind capacity accelerate across the country. This session will dive into the policy direction, market mechanisms, and manufacturing strategy required to scale storage deployment across grid and distributed applications. Panelists will address supply chain resilience, domestic production capacity, financing models, cost competitiveness, and regulatory clarity, and examine how India can build a secure and bankable energy storage ecosystem to support sustained clean energy growth.

Large-scale renewable energy deployment is entering a phase where scale must be matched by infrastructure, capital depth, and operational coordination. This session will review how grid expansion, storage integration, supply chain readiness, land acquisition, and financing structures are aligning with accelerating capacity additions. Panelists will address execution bottlenecks, demand growth in the industrial and digital sectors, and investor confidence, and examine the commercial and policy strategies required to deliver reliable, cost-competitive renewable energy at scale.

While modules and cells attract significant attention, balance-of-system components such as inverters, mounting structures, cables, transformers, and switchgear are critical to project efficiency and cost competitiveness. This session will assess the growth of domestic BoS manufacturing and its role in strengthening local supply chains as solar installations scale across the country. Panelists will address investment momentum, localization strategies, technology competitiveness, and supply chain resilience, and examine how BoS manufacturing can enhance value capture and support a globally competitive solar industry.

Rapid advancements in renewable energy technologies are reshaping project economics, performance benchmarks, and grid integration capabilities across the sector. This session will examine developments in high-efficiency solar modules, next-generation wind turbines, advanced energy storage systems, power electronics, and digital grid management. Panelists will address commercialization pathways, investment trends, and competitive pressures, and examine how technology innovation can enhance reliability, improve cost competitiveness, and accelerate scalable clean energy deployment.

As renewable capacity accelerates, transmission infrastructure has become central to ensuring clean power reaches demand centers efficiently and reliably. This session will examine how substations, transmission corridors, transformers, and grid connectivity systems must expand in alignment with generation growth to avoid curtailment and stranded-asset risks. Panelists will address planning frameworks, procurement strategies, equipment supply constraints, and capital deployment models, and examine how transmission readiness can support sustained and large-scale renewable energy expansion.

As renewable deployment accelerates, capital markets are playing an increasingly central role in financing infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy storage expansion. This session will dive into how green IPOs, strategic equity raises, infrastructure funds, and sovereign capital are shaping investment trends and influencing valuations across the sector. Panelists will address investor expectations, risk perception, balance sheet discipline, regulatory stability, and capital structuring, and examine what it takes for renewable companies to attract and deploy long-term, competitive financing at scale. Tea and coffee will be served during the session inside the conference hall.
