India Energy Week 2027 to Highlight Eastern India's Energy Role
India Energy Week (IEW) 2027 is scheduled for January 28-31 in Kolkata, with a focus on energy security, innovation, and the increasing role of eastern and northeastern India in the national energy sector. The event's curtain-raiser in Mumbai and Kolkata brought together policymakers, industry executives, and technology innovators.
IEW 2027 will feature 11 thematic zones and 13 international pavilions. The event aims to provide a platform for connecting regional stakeholders with global energy companies and technology providers. Discussions will cover energy security, financing the energy transition, technology affordability, and the energy requirements of a developing economy.
Investment opportunities in West Bengal and the broader eastern region will be highlighted. Progress on petroleum and natural gas infrastructure includes approximately 798 km of pipeline projects, representing an investment of around ₹5,494 crore, currently under development. These projects are intended to enhance West Bengal’s energy infrastructure and connectivity with eastern and northeastern markets. IEW 2027 will also introduce new formats, including MC2 Shark Tank-style sessions, Kolkata Debates, and Ignite Talks, to support entrepreneurs and innovators.
