The dedicated renewable-energy and storage edition of EPS Industry Connect — bringing the full generation-to-storage-to-smart-grid value chain onto one stage in Nagpur, the strategic heart of Central India's industrial and solar growth corridor.
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.
Why Maharashtra & Central India are clean energy's next big opportunity.
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.
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.
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.
We are honoured to welcome senior leaders from Maharashtra's power and renewable-energy establishment to the 19th EPS Industry Connect, Nagpur.
Leaders across solar, energy storage, hybrid systems and manufacturing — sharing the on-ground view of Maharashtra's clean-energy transition.
More speakers being confirmed — full line-up updating soon.
The full RE + BESS value chain — generation to storage to smart grid — on one stage. Four power sessions plus a CEO panel, mapping the road to Maharashtra's next wave of renewable growth.
