As a major player in the global energy market, India must invest in trusted AI deployment for its energy sector. AI, in conjunction with other technologies, opens up new possibilities for achieving the goals set out in CoP 28. While challenges remain, the potential for AI to enable the energy transition and create a sustainable future is immense. India is well poised for leveraging this new capability for advancing economic and climate goals in tandem.

From a focused internal dialogue to a global platform for action — ENRich has come a long way. Over 16 years, it has grown in scope, stature, and relevance, becoming a catalyst for conversations that matter. This year’s theme reflects a powerful truth:
Sustainability is no longer an aspiration – it’s a test of resilience
As India continues to lead global growth, driven by strong domestic demand and macroeconomic stability, the energy sector stands at a pivotal moment.
Looking ahead to 2030, the modern energy enterprise will be transformed – with AI at the core and GCCs as the engine of execution. Three priorities will define this transformation:
- Embed AI across the enterprise – from operations to decision-making
- Reimagine structures and operating models – with GCCs at the center
- Elevate culture and ways of working – because transformation is as much about people as it is about technology
By 2050, India is set to emerge as the world’s largest refining powerhouse, while energy transition is a prevalent topic among the affluent, for the less privileged it is simply about access—providing energy to those who currently do not have any. Balancing these priorities is essential as we plan for an inclusive energy future.
Mobilising climate finance in India depends on policy certainty and investible NDCs. A strong project pipeline, backed by transparent carbon markets, builds confidence, and draws capital, while early involvement of insurance companies can unlock additional risk-sharing in emerging market
AI holds immense potential to optimise energy use and strengthen data centres, but public trust will only grow when expectations are managed realistically and AI consistently delivers measurable results, not magic
Secondary steel producers contribute more than 50% of the domestic steel production, and because of the scale, relevance and contribution without decarbonising this sector, India can’t achieve its net zero goals.
These producers use electric arc furnaces and induction furnaces; the latter tend to be more rudimentary operationally, with potential to address operational efficiencies and utilise greater renewables & scrap.

CXO imperatives for reimagining chemical supply chains
Reimagining chemical supply chains demands both vision and action. Embedding resilience, tackling cross-border and warehousing challenges, and building digital-first cultures will define India’s journey to sustainable, future-ready logistics by 2030:.
Regulatory compliance & global standards in chemicals transportation
As Indian chemical logistics become more globally integrated, harmonising regulatory compliance and logistics standards is essential. Streamlined regulations, effective customs, and unified standards are foundational for safe and globally competitive chemical transportation.
Playbook in action: Resilience, decarbonisation & digitalisation in chemical supply chains
Building resilient, low-carbon chemical supply chains requires decisive action. At the ICC forum, decarbonising transport, managing supplier and geopolitical risks, and strengthening networks through regionalisation and integration emerged as key imperatives.
