Columbia India Energy Dialogue 2026

Past Event

October 29, 2026

2:00 pm - 5:00 pm ist

The Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs and ReNew invite you to Columbia India Energy Dialogue 2026, taking place on Thursday, 29 October at The Oberoi, New Delhi. Centered on the theme “Clean Energy Innovation and Manufacturing in a Splintering World,” this dialogue will examine how shifting geopolitics, supply chain disruptions, and emerging technologies are reshaping the future of clean energy innovation and manufacturing.

The program will feature Jason Bordoff, Founding Director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA, Sumant Sinha, Founder, Chairman and CEO of ReNew, and H.E. Dr. Michelle Bachelet (to be confirmed), former President of Chile and chairperson of the High-Level Panel on Universal Energy Abundance, alongside senior leaders from government, industry, finance, and academia.  A senior representative of the Government of India will also deliver keynote remarks, offering a high-level perspective on India’s evolving energy and economic priorities and its role in the global clean energy transition.

The discussion will examine the opportunities and challenges of building resilient capabilities for clean energy innovation and manufacturing, including India’s increasingly prominent role in global clean energy value chains and the potential of its expanding manufacturing base, industrial policies, and digital capabilities.

Speakers will also consider how international partnerships, particularly across the Global South, can strengthen energy security, accelerate innovation, and help countries navigate an increasingly complex geopolitical and economic landscape.

Key Questions

  • What role is India playing in global clean energy manufacturing and supply chains amid increasing geopolitical fragmentation, and how can that role grow?
  • What policy choices and partnerships can help build more resilient clean energy value chains and strengthen energy security?
  • How can digitalization and artificial intelligence enhance industrial competitiveness and accelerate clean energy innovation?
  • What role can India and other Global South countries play in advancing clean energy innovation and supporting the move toward universal energy abundance?
