Mumbai to host Renewable Energy Summit 2025
India will require another US$150-US$200 billion investments for renewables over the next five years for a dramatic transformation with renewable energy expanding from less than 10% of the generation base (as of now) to nearly 50%, a senior industry official has said https://www.investindia.gov.in/.
“India’s energy sector is in the midst of a dramatic transformation with renewable energy expanding from less than 10% of the generation base to nearly 50%,” said Subahoo Chordia, Co-CEO, EAAA Alternatives of Mumbai.
“However, we are only midway through this journey, and the next five years will require investments of another US$150-US$200 billion https://www.bseindia.com/.
“In this context, investment managers such as EAAA Alternatives are playing a vital role in bridging the gap between capital providers and developers driving the energy transition,” he said https://www.nseindia.com/.

Chordia made the comments on renewable prospects in the country as the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA), India’s apex industry body for alternate capital, announced the inaugural IVCA Renewable Energy Summit 2025 to be held 15 July in Mumbai https://sbi.com.in/.
The IVCA Renewable Energy Summit 2025 will convene a high-powered mix of global and domestic limited partners (LPs), general partners (GPs), policymakers, regulators, corporates, cleantech entrepreneurs, and innovators to explore pathways for unlocking capital and accelerating India’s green transition.
Organised in collaboration with Avendus Capital, EAAA Alternatives, and Singularity Capital, the summit aims to catalyse capital deployment, innovation, and public-private collaboration in the renewable energy space.
In 2024, renewables accounted for 83% of total power sector investments, and the country’s non-fossil fuel power capacity reached 44%, steadily progressing toward the government’s 50% target by 2030.
Aakriti Bamniyal, Senior Vice-President, IVCA, said, “India’s clean energy ambition is not just a climate imperative, it’s a generational investment opportunity. The IVCA Renewable Energy Summit 2025 is designed to be a force multiplier—driving capital flows, sparking collaboration, and showcasing the power of alternative capital in shaping a greener, more resilient India.”
Summit sessions will cover:
• Accelerating clean power finance in India: Explore innovative financing models;
• The role of renewables in enabling EVs, AI, green hydrogen, and clean infrastructure;
• Innovations in energy storage, grid tech, and hybrid energy systems;
• Policy perspectives for accelerating clean energy deployment.
Prateek Jhawar, Managing Director and Head, Infrastructure & Real Assets Investment Banking, Avendus Capital, said, “At Avendus, we are extremely bullish on the entire energy transition ecosystem. Achieving a net-zero future will require deep participation from investors, companies and regulatory bodies.
“While decarbonization themes like renewable energy are already seeing strong global adoption, we are also witnessing rapid momentum in emerging areas such as green hydrogen, electric mobility, waste and water management, circular economy, biofuels, sustainable aviation fuels, and energy efficiency—especially within the Indian context, given that India would require cumulative investments of US$15 trillion to truly achieve net-zero by 2070, i.e., upwards of US$300 billion annually until 2070 from the current annual investments of around US$30 billion http://mnre.gov.in.
“The IVCA Renewable Energy Summit 2025 presents a powerful opportunity to align capital with climate priorities, and we’re excited to contribute as partners on this,” Jhawar said.
Suyash Kela, Partner, Energy Transition, Singularity, said, “At Singularity, we believe clean energy is fundamental to global & India’s growth story – not just as an environmental imperative, but as an economic and strategic one. Supporting founders building solutions in renewable energy aligns deeply with our conviction of backing sectors that create long-term value for the country.
“IVCA’s work in convening investors, policymakers, and innovators plays a critical role in accelerating this transition. We are pleased to partner with IVCA for the Renewable Energy Summit 2025 to drive the conversations and collaborations needed to build a more sustainable and energy-secure India.”
In recent years, India has ranked third globally in capacity addition, after China and the United States. With a supportive policy ecosystem and surging investor interest, the country’s renewable energy sector is poised to be one of the biggest levers of sustainable economic growth and employment https://sbi.com.in/.
