India’s clean energy future is set to take a major step forward as Shri Pralhad Venkatesh Joshi, Union Minister for New & Renewable Energy, will grace the IVCA Renewable Energy Summit 2025 as Chief Guest and deliver the Keynote Address. The summit, organised by the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA), will be held in Mumbai on July 15.
The event will serve as a premier platform for engaging key players from the private equity, venture capital, and alternative investment communities, all working towards driving climate-aligned investments that support India’s energy transition. Hosted in collaboration with Avendus, EAAA Alternatives, and Singularity Capital, the summit will bring together policymakers, institutional investors, family offices, climate-tech innovators, and financial leaders to explore new pathways for green growth.
Ahead of the summit, Minister Joshi stated, “India’s clean energy journey goes beyond environmental responsibility, it’s a national priority. From scaling renewable generation and battery storage to green manufacturing, private capital will play a vital role in meeting our target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. I am eager to engage with the IVCA community and emphasize the government’s commitment to fostering an investment-friendly climate for sustainable development.”
India’s renewable energy sector has been gaining remarkable traction. In 2024, clean energy made up 83% of total power sector investments, while the share of non-fossil fuel capacity rose to 44%. The country now ranks among the top three globally in terms of renewable energy capacity additions.
To sustain this momentum, the government is strengthening its push for solar, wind, storage, and green hydrogen infrastructure, with a renewed focus on public-private partnerships. Policy tools such as viability gap funding for battery storage, incentives for offshore wind projects, and grid expansion initiatives are aimed at mobilising large-scale institutional capital. These measures create promising avenues for private equity, venture capital, and alternative investment funds (AIFs) to participate in India’s next green chapter.
IVCA President Rajat Tandon said, “We are honoured to have Minister Joshi join us at the summit. His forward-thinking leadership in advancing renewable investments and shaping supportive policies has been key to India’s green energy narrative. His presence reinforces the government’s dedication to building strong public-private partnerships that drive lasting impact.”
The summit agenda will cover a broad range of themes, including:
- Financing clean energy through innovative capital models
- Advancing clean mobility, AI integration, and green hydrogen ecosystems
- Exploring energy storage, smart grids, and hybrid solutions
- Crafting policy frameworks to facilitate capital deployment
Featured speakers include Dr. Ruchi Chojer, Executive Director at SEBI, and Shri Vishal Kumar Dev, Principal Secretary for Energy, Government of Odisha, alongside leaders from top financial institutions, family offices, development finance institutions, and cleantech startups.
