Informa Markets in India, a leading B2B exhibitions organizer, is gearing up to present the much-awaited 17th edition of the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo from October 3rd to 5th, 2024, at the India Expo Centre, Greater Noida. Concurrently, the 2ndedition of The Battery Show India will run alongside the REI Expo, creating a comprehensive platform for the renewable energy and electric vehicle (EV) sectors to converge.
Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, said “India’s ambitious goal of achieving 30% electric vehicle sales by 2030 places the EV industry at the forefront of the nation’s mobility revolution, with around 4 million electric vehicles already in use, 95% of which are two and three-wheelers. At the same time, the renewable energy sector has witnessed significant strides, with installed capacity reaching 200 GW as of August 2024, alongside record solar investments and initiatives like the PM-Surya GharMuft Bijli Yojana, benefiting millions of households.
As we prepare for The Battery Show India 2024 and REI Expo 2024, these events will not only spotlight India’s leadership in renewable energy and electric mobility but also act as key catalysts for industry-wide collaboration and innovation. By bringing together global stakeholders, startups, and policymakers, both platforms are instrumental in driving technological advancements, fostering sustainable practices, and reinforcing India’s role as a global leader in energy transformation. The synergy between the renewable energy and battery sectors will continue to shape the nation’s journey towards a clean, electrified future, aligning with India’s long-term vision of sustainable growth and energy security, he further added.

Industry Overview
India’s renewable energy sector, backed by government initiatives and a robust policy framework, is set to drive the country’s transition to clean energy, with a special focus on the integration of battery storage systems. The ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, led by solar and wind energy, aligns with the growing need for efficient energy storage solutions to ensure a stable and reliable grid. The battery industry plays a pivotal role in this transformation, with the EV market expected to surge from $34.8 billion in 2024 to $120 billion by 2030. Initiatives like the PM Surya Ghar scheme, which saw a 300% rise in residential solar installations, and the FAME scheme for electric vehicles, have not only boosted solar adoption but also laid the foundation for a sustainable energy ecosystem. Startups and private investments in battery manufacturing, energy storage, and EV technologies are expected to play a crucial role, contributing over $10 billion in the next three years, further positioning India as a leader in both the green energy and battery sectors.
