The US-India Business Council (USIBC) is set to lead a business delegation in the second edition of “India Energy Week,” scheduled to take place from February 6-9 in Goa.
The event aims to provide a platform for global energy businesses, startups, and thought leaders to engage directly with senior Indian government officials and the corporate community in the energy sector.
According to an official statement, the USIBC delegation will be led by President Atul Keshap and Shilpa Gupta, chief technology officer at GE Vernova India.
The event will feature industry briefings and a high-level US-India Energy Transition Roundtable, chaired by Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
Industry leaders from various sectors, including oil and gas, power and renewable energy, critical minerals, hydrogen and alternative fuels, and sustainable aviation fuels, will participate in the event.
“The energy sector plays a significant role in the bilateral trade and economic relationship between the United States and India, contributing over $20 billion in two-way trade and is poised to grow,” the USIBC statement noted.
Ambassador Keshap highlighted that both PM Narendra Modi and US President Joseph Biden have placed a special emphasis on the role that both nations can play together to advance energy transition globally.
“Both leaders have made collective announcements on green hydrogen, advancing electric mobility, joint investments funds to advance the deployment of renewable energy and other areas showcasing opportunities for a significant role for private sectors and governments of both countries to work closely together. USIBC remains steadfast in its commitment to being a partner in this joint effort,” he added.
Expressing her excitement to collaborate with USIBC for the event, Gupta said, “By investing in advanced powering technology, enhancing local manufacturing capabilities, and building a strong talent workforce, GE Vernova is excited to work with the industry leaders in defining new pathways to lead energy transition in India.”
