Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi accompanied the Prime Minister as he visited the expo held at Mahatma Mandir.
The exhibition showcases contributions from the public and private sectors, state governments, and start-ups. The mission is to create abundant networking opportunities, facilitated by a dedicated B2B digital platform for business-to-business (B2B), business-to-government (B2G), and government-to-government (G2G) interactions.
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is the industry partner for this year’s event, supporting a successful collaboration among stakeholders.
PM Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the fourth Global Renewable Energy Investor’s Meet, hosted by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), later in the day. The three-day conference is anticipated to draw over 10,000 delegates, including influential figures from government, industry, and financial sectors.
The central theme of RE-INVEST 2024 will be the Mission 500 GW, which underscores India’s strategic goal to expand its renewable energy capacity significantly by 2030. As the 4th largest country globally in installed renewable energy capacity, India aims to further consolidate its leadership in the global energy transition.
Key international partners for this year’s event include Australia, Denmark, Germany, and Norway. Additionally, Indian states such as Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh will actively participate. High-level delegations from the US, UK, Belgium, the European Union, Oman, UAE, Singapore, and Hong Kong will also be in attendance, with some delegations led by ministers from Germany and Denmark.
The conference will feature an extensive agenda across 44 sessions, including a Chief Ministerial Plenary, a CEO Roundtable, and discussions focused on renewable energy innovations and opportunities specific to various countries and states. Noteworthy sessions will address the role of women in accelerating energy transitions and provide a platform for start-ups, including pitches by the ten winners of the Solar X Challenge.
RE-INVEST’s inaugural edition was held in February 2015 in New Delhi, followed by subsequent editions in October 2018 in Delhi NCR, and a virtual edition in November 2020.
