Why Nagpur — Market Context

EPS Industry Connect is one of India's most trusted B2B platforms for the clean-energy industry, curated by Industrial Outlook. Now in its 19th edition, the series has connected manufacturers, utilities, developers, EPCs, policymakers and industrial buyers across major cities — building real business relationships through focused conferences, panels, exhibitions and networking.

The RE + BESS CONFEX is the dedicated renewable-energy and storage edition — hosted in Nagpur, the strategic heart of Central India's industrial and solar growth corridor. It brings the full value chain — generation to storage to smart grid — onto one stage.

Maharashtra is one of India's fastest-growing markets for industrial solar, open access and large-scale renewable deployment. Rising industrial demand, net-zero commitments and supportive policy are opening a multi-billion-dollar opportunity across the value chain — from rooftop and open-access solar to BESS-firmed, round-the-clock renewable power.

Market Insight

Three Strategic Realities

Why Maharashtra & Central India are clean energy's next big opportunity.

01

A Market at an Inflection Point

Maharashtra is one of India's fastest-growing markets for industrial solar, open access and large-scale renewable deployment. Rising industrial demand, net-zero commitments and supportive policy are opening a multi-billion-dollar opportunity across the value chain.

02

Nagpur — Central India's Growth Engine

Nagpur is emerging as a key hub for manufacturing, industrial energy and utility-scale solar, with strong momentum behind open access, C&I solar and behind-the-meter storage right across the region.

03

From Rooftops to Round-the-Clock Power

PM Surya Ghar is accelerating rooftop adoption across consumers and MSMEs, while a growing appetite for BESS is enabling round-the-clock, firm renewable power — the next leg of the region's clean-energy story.
