Vision behind the Conclave

As India progresses towards its 2070 net-zero target, the effectiveness of its energy and mobility transitions increasingly depends on how well they are aligned. Mobility cannot be genuinely decarbonized while relying on a predominantly coal-based electricity grid, just as renewable energy cannot realize its full climate and energy-security potential without a flexible and scalable demand base. Yet, these transitions continue to be planned, financed, and governed largely in isolation, highlighting the need for platforms that can advance a more integrated approach to energy and mobility policy.

India has sustained significant policy and investment efforts across both sectors, spanning regulatory mandates, fiscal incentives, and infrastructure development. These efforts are increasingly complemented by a growing ecosystem of startups, R&D institutions, and clean-energy enterprises working at the intersection of technology, mobility, and energy. Together, these developments create a timely opportunity to explore how greater integration between the two transitions can be achieved in practice.

Envisioned as a high-level policy platform, the Conclave will convene ministers, senior bureaucrats, industry leaders, academics, and civil society representatives for keynotes and thematic discussions on opportunities and challenges at the intersection of energy and mobility ecosystems.
