India has enormous potential to address the urgent issues of climate change as the G20 leadership and to forge international alliances to hasten the creation and adoption of clean energy solutions. India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) is getting ready to launch the sixth iteration of India Energy Storage Week (IESW) in an effort to assist India's Net Zero Goal and Clean Energy Transition. In the proud year that India is hosting the G20 summit, IESW 2023 will be a genuinely international event with participation from more than 25 nations, including the UK, USA, UAE, Australia, China, Germany, Singapore, France, Italy, and Sri Lanka. IESW 2023, hailed as one of the most significant Clean Energy events in the world, is packed with possibilities for networking, information exchange, top-tier gatherings, and fascinating insights into the future of energy storage and the transition to clean energy.
IESW 2023 will be the largest stage for e-mobility and clean energy, with an extraordinary lineup of over 500 national and international organisations, more than 60 CXOs from the e-mobility and green hydrogen ecosystem, 100 Start-ups, 50 Women Energy Leaders, and 8 Ministries.

If India wants to achieve its net zero goal by 2070, energy storage technologies will have to play a crucial role. Over the past years, there have been notable advancements in manufacturing policies in India, with nearly 30 companies in the process of establishing manufacturing facilities for various components related to energy storage. The India Energy Storage Week 2023 presents an excellent opportunity for stakeholders to come together and explore the latest technologies and best practices in energy storage, e-mobility, and green hydrogen space.
IESW has received a great deal of support from different government agencies, and secretaries, general secretaries, and representatives from over eight ministries, including the Department of Heavy Industries, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the Ministry of Electronic, the Department of Electronic Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, are expected to attend.
