January 2023: In a build-up event to India Energy Week 2023, which is scheduled to be held in Bangalore from 6th to 8th February 2023, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, organized a distinct event called ‘Dance to Decarbonise’, where renewable energy generated through dance was used to charge electric vehicles.

The one-of-a-kind musical event was organized at India Gate, in New Delhi. The campaign #DanceToDecarbonise is expected to build engagement around sustainability by leveraging dance and music.

The event witnessed attendance by dignitaries from the industry including cabinet ministers, Member of Parliament, officials from MOP&NG, Ambassadors/Diplomats of foreign countries, CEO’s/Senior executives of select industries, EV manufacturers through SIAM, Leading Airlines Officials, Oil PSU associates in Defence, Border Road organisations, PSU associates in Railways, PSU sports persons and Senior officials from Oil PSUs.

India is projected to witness the largest increase in energy demand by any country over the next two decades as the economy continues to grow and create opportunities for its people, as well as for the global value chain. Achieving India’s target of net-zero emissions by 2070 needs to be weighed against the country’s growing economy, rising energy requirements, and the implementation of responsible energy sources over transformational energy systems for the future.

The inaugural event - India Energy Week comes at a critical time, with the challenges such as energy security and environmental sustainability impacting long-term energy transition and paths towards decarbonisation. As a rapidly developing country, and soon to be the world’s most populous nation, India’s energy transition will play a pivotal role in global energy markets.
