The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, is organising the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit & Expo (BRESE) 2026 from 2–5 November 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, will inaugurate the Summit on 2^nd November 2026.

Shri Santosh Sarangi, Secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, while addressing media persons here today said, “India's clean energy transition is entering a decisive phase. With 308 GW of installed non-fossil fuel capacity, we are firmly on course to reach our 500 GW target by 2030. Realising this ambition will require approximately USD 220 billion in investment between 2027 and 2030, alongside accelerated deployment of energy storage, stronger transmission networks and expanded domestic manufacturing capabilities. The Bharat Renewable Energy Summit & Expo 2026 will provide a vital platform to connect global capital, technology and industry expertise with India's growing clean energy opportunities, translating investment potential into projects, partnerships and progress.”

The four-day event, themed 'Invest. Innovate. Inspire.', is expected to bring together participants from over 130 countries, including ministers, policymakers, industry leaders, investors, financial institutions, manufacturers, innovators, researchers and representatives of multilateral organisations. The Summit will be organised alongside the 9th Session of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) Assembly and the 4th International Conference on Green Hydrogen (ICGH). The three events will provide a common platform for discussions on renewable energy investment, international cooperation, emerging technologies and clean energy deployment.

Australia, Denmark, the European Union, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom will participate as country partners. Delegations from several other countries are also expected to attend the Summit to explore cooperation opportunities in renewable energy financing, green hydrogen, energy storage, clean energy manufacturing, and technology development.

Thirteen Indian states will participate as Partner States and showcase their renewable energy potential, investment opportunities, policy initiatives and manufacturing capabilities. Other participating states will also highlight opportunities for renewable energy development and investment.

India ranks third globally in renewable energy and solar installed capacity and fourth in wind power capacity, as it advances towards its target of 500 GW by 2030. India invested USD 63.7 billion in its renewable energy sector during July 2024–June 2026, as per BloombergNEF. Building on this momentum, the Summit will bring together global policymakers, investors, industry leaders and innovators to strengthen international cooperation, mobilise investment and accelerate renewable energy deployment, particularly across emerging economies and the Global South. The four-day conference will feature high-level plenaries, ministerial discussions, CEO roundtables, and country and state sessions focused on financing, policy, technology, and skilling. Discussions will cover clean energy investment, emerging technologies, manufacturing, energy storage, and workforce development, with an emphasis on technology exchange, scalable solutions, and greater participation and leadership by women in the global energy transition.

The co-located 9th ISA Assembly will reinforce India’s global leadership in advancing solar energy by taking its successful policies, technologies, and implementation models to countries across the Global South. As ISA’s apex decision-making body, the Assembly will bring together ministers and representatives from Signatory & Member Countries to set priorities and guide collective action on solar deployment, financing and capacity building. Building on India's experience with flagship initiatives such as PM-KUSUM and PM Surya Ghar, ISA is helping countries adapt and scale proven solutions through country-led programmes, investment mobilisation, and institutional partnerships, translating India's renewable energy success into tangible benefits worldwide.

An accompanying exhibition will feature 400+ leading manufacturers, developers, technology providers, public and private sector companies, startups and research institutions from India and abroad. The exhibition will showcase emerging technologies and solutions across the renewable energy sector and provide opportunities for business networking, investment facilitation and technology partnerships.

The Summit will also recognise and award winners of the Bharat Renewable Energy Hackathon 2026, a pre-event initiative that brought together students, startups, researchers and innovators to develop solutions to ten real-world renewable energy challenges across two tracks: Early Stage and Growth Stage.

The RE National Renewable Energy Quiz 2026, conducted through regional rounds across the country, will conclude with its Grand Finale at Bharat Mandapam. The REGen Pavilion will provide a dedicated platform for students, young innovators, entrepreneurs and researchers to showcase ideas and engage with industry leaders.

The Summit will offer B2B, B2G, and G2G engagements, connecting investors, manufacturers, technology providers, and government representatives to explore investment opportunities, partnerships, and project development.
