India Energy Week (IEW) 2023 will be held in Bengaluru, Karnataka from 6th to 8th February 2023.
IEW is aimed to showcase India’s rising prowess as an energy transition powerhouse.
The event will bring together leaders from the traditional and non-traditional energy industry, governments, and academia to discuss the challenges and opportunities that a responsible energy transition presents.
It will see the presence of more than 30 Ministers from across the world.
During the programme, multiple initiatives in the field of green energy will be launched including;

In line with the ethanol blending roadmap E20 fuel will be launched at 84 retail outlets of Oil Marketing Companies in 11 States/UTs.
E20 is a blend of 20% ethanol with petrol.
The government aims to achieve a complete 20% blending of ethanol by 2025, and oil marketing companies are setting up 2G-3G ethanol plants that will facilitate the progress.
Due to the sustained efforts of the government, ethanol production capacity has seen a six times increase since 2013-14.
Ethanol Blending Programe & Biofuels Programe have not only augmented India’s energy security but have also resulted in a host of other benefits including reduction of 318 Lakh Metric Tonnes of CO2 emissions and foreign exchange savings of around Rs 54,000 crore.

The rally will witness participation of vehicles running on green energy sources and will help create public awareness for the green fuels.

In order to phase out single-use plastic, Indian Oil has adopted uniforms for retail customer attendants and LPG delivery personnel made from recycled polyester (rPET) & cotton.
Each set of uniform of Indian Oil’s customer attendant shall support recycling of around 28 used PET bottles.
Indian Oil is taking this initiative further through ‘Unbottled’ – a brand for sustainable garments, launched for merchandise made from recycled polyester.
Under this brand, IndianOil targets to meet the requirement of uniforms for the customer attendants of other Oil Marketing Companies, non-combat uniforms for Army, uniforms/ dresses for Institutions & sales to retail customers.

Indian Oil will be rolling out a twin-cooktop model of its Indoor Solar Cooking System.
Indian Oil had earlier developed an innovative and patented Indoor Solar Cooking System with single cooktop.
On the basis of feedback received, twin-cooktop Indoor Solar Cooking system has been designed offering more flexibility and ease to the users.
It is a revolutionary indoor solar cooking solution that works on both solar and auxiliary energy sources simultaneously, making it a reliable cooking solution for India.
