India's Renewable Energy Summit to Focus on Storage and Green Hydrogen
India is planning a big event called the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit & Expo 2026.
This event will talk about new ways to use clean energy, like solar power, wind power, and green hydrogen.
The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, will start the event.
The goal is to bring together different countries and companies to work on making clean energy better and more available.
India has already made a lot of progress in using solar and wind power, and they want to keep improving.
The event will also discuss how to store energy better and use it in different ways, like on farms and in water.
This is all part of India's plan to use more clean energy and less energy from fossil fuels.
India's next renewable energy phase focuses on hybrid projects, battery storage, floating solar, agrivoltaics, and green hydrogen.
The Bharat Renewable Energy Summit & Expo 2026 will be held from November 2-5, 2026, and inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
India has increased its non-fossil energy capacity to 297 GW, with significant growth in solar and wind energy.
The event aims to attract international partnerships and investments to advance renewable energy technologies.
Solar tariffs have fallen to ₹2.15 per unit from ₹10.95, and around 4.8 million rooftop systems have been installed under PM Surya Ghar.
