India is undergoing one of the world's fastest energy transitions, with ambitious targets to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070. As one of the country's leading renewable energy hubs, Karnataka has emerged as a key driver of this transformation through rapid expansion of solar and wind power, progressive energy policies, grid modernisation, energy storage, green hydrogen, and industrial decarbonisation.

This October in Bengaluru, the Karnataka Energy Summit 2026, organised by the Department of Energy, Government of Karnataka, in collaboration with Elets Technomedia, brings together policymakers, utility leaders, regulators, industry experts, investors, technology innovators, and energy stakeholders to explore the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of energy. The summit will serve as a collaborative platform to drive innovation, strengthen partnerships, and accelerate Karnataka's transition towards a resilient, sustainable, and future-ready energy ecosystem while contributing to India's clean energy ambitions.
