New Delhi :Bharat Electricity Summit 2026, a global conference-cum-exhibition for the power and electricity sector, will be held from 19 to 22 March 2026 at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi. The formal announcement was made today by Shri Manohar Lal, Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs. On the occasion, the Minister also unveiled the official brochure and teaser film of the Summit.
The four-day Summit will be organised under the theme “Electrifying Growth. Empowering Sustainability. Connecting Globally”, highlighting India’s leadership in the global energy transition while addressing emerging challenges and opportunities across the power sector.
Bharat Electricity Summit 2026 will bring together domestic and international stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and civil society to deliberate on the future of electricity and sustainable energy systems. The Summit aims to facilitate cross-sector dialogue, strengthen global cooperation, and foster strategic partnerships to support a resilient and future-ready electricity ecosystem.
The event will feature over 50 high-level conference sessions, expert-led panel discussions, thematic pavilions, and advanced technology showcases spanning the entire electricity and clean energy value chain. The Summit is expected to host more than 500 exhibitors, welcome over 25,000 attendees, and attract 1,000+ delegates and 300 speakers from India and across the world.
Bharat Electricity Summit 2026 will serve as a premier platform for global policymakers, CEOs, government leaders, electricity experts, investors, regulators, innovators, suppliers, and solution providers. Through focused stakeholder engagement and networking, the Summit will enable impactful discussions across the electricity value chain—from generation and transmission to distribution, storage, and smart consumption.
A key highlight of the Summit will be the ‘Buyer–Seller Meet’, designed to accelerate partnerships and unlock new business opportunities across the global power supply chain. The Summit will thus act as a catalyst for cross-border collaboration and investment mobilisation, supporting faster deployment of clean electricity solutions.
The event will also provide a unique opportunity for diverse stakeholders to exhibit their technologies, systems and solutions, including manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, innovators, and startups in areas such as power generation, transmission and distribution, energy storage and battery technologies, energy efficiency, energy transition and emerging clean energy solutions.
Speaking on the occasion, Manohar Lal said that Bharat Electricity Summit 2026 reflects India’s strong resolve to shape the future of electricity systems. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, the Minister said, “We are entering an era of energy abundance. There was a time when our discussions centred on bridging shortages and meeting basic needs. Today, we are focused on managing surplus, ensuring resilience, and delivering universal excellence.”
He further stated that Bharat Electricity Summit 2026 will not only showcase India’s achievements but also serve as a launchpad for future progress, bringing together technology providers, infrastructure developers, innovators, and decision-makers on a single platform. The Summit, he said, offers a unique environment where local capabilities connect with global vision to shape a sustainable and resilient electricity future.
The Minister also commended the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Power, its CPSEs, supporting Ministries, States and Union Territories, and industry bodies for advancing India’s electricity vision and marking the official beginning of preparations for the Summit.
