Informa Markets in India to Host 17th Edition of Renewable Energy India Expo Alongside 2nd Edition of The Battery Show India in October 2024
Informa Markets in India, a leading organizer of B2B exhibitions, is set to present the highly anticipated 17th edition of the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo from October 3rd to 5th, 2024, at the India Expo Centre in Greater Noida. Running concurrently with the 2nd edition of The Battery Show India, this event will serve as a comprehensive platform for the renewable energy and electric vehicle (EV) sectors to converge.
Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director of Informa Markets in India, highlighted the significance of these sectors, noting that India’s goal of 30% electric vehicle sales by 2030 places the EV industry at the forefront of the country’s mobility revolution, with over 4 million EVs already in use, particularly two- and three-wheelers. Simultaneously, India’s renewable energy sector has reached new milestones, with installed capacity hitting 200 GW as of August 2024. This growth is supported by initiatives like the PM-Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, benefiting millions of households.
Speaking about the upcoming events, Mr. Mudras emphasized, “The REI Expo 2024 and The Battery Show India 2024 will showcase India’s leadership in renewable energy and electric mobility while fostering collaboration and innovation across industries. These platforms will bring together global stakeholders, startups, and policymakers to drive technological advancements and sustainable practices, reinforcing India’s role as a global leader in energy transformation.” He added that the synergy between the renewable energy and battery industries will play a pivotal role in shaping India’s journey toward a clean, electrified future, aligning with the country’s long-term sustainability goals.

Key features of the show include CEO/CTO Conclaves, the Global Innovation Theatre, and a three-day technical conference. Under the theme “Net Zero Strategies, Synergies, and Sustainable Growth,” the conference will cover topics such as India’s electric vehicle push, battery energy storage systems, and EU-India EV battery recycling technologies. The event will also explore building resilient green infrastructure for clean mobility, with a focus on NHEV E-Highways and sustainable energy storage solutions.
Industry Outlook
India’s renewable energy sector is advancing rapidly, driven by strong government policies and initiatives aimed at achieving 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, primarily through solar and wind power. This transition emphasizes the need for efficient battery storage systems to maintain a reliable energy grid. The battery industry, closely tied to the growing EV market, is projected to surge from $34.8 billion in 2024 to $120 billion by 2030. Key initiatives like the PM Surya Ghar scheme, which has seen a 300% increase in residential solar installations, and the FAME scheme for electric vehicles, are propelling this growth.
Private investments and startup activity in battery manufacturing, energy storage, and EV technologies are expected to contribute more than $10 billion over the next three years, positioning India as a global leader in renewable energy and battery technology. These developments are vital for the nation’s shift towards a sustainable and clean energy future.
