Agra Clean Energy Conference18th Edition · Taj Trapezium Special
Solar · Energy Storage · Electric Mobility
A one-day conclave on decarbonising Agra–Braj industry, scaling rooftop and open-access solar, and building a bankable clean-energy pipeline in the shadow of the Taj.
The Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ) makes Agra a compliance story, not just an economics story. The city sits at the centre of a 10,400 sq km Supreme-Court-protected zone — spanning Agra, Firozabad, Mathura, Hathras, Etah and Bharatpur — where coal and coke are banned, polluting industries are restricted, and a shift to cleaner fuels and renewables is court-mandated. Agra's manufacturers cannot burn their way to growth; they have to electrify and go solar.
Agra is an industrial city that must decarbonise. The footwear & leather cluster, Firozabad's glass and bangle units, foundries and the tourism–hospitality economy are all energy-intensive and all inside the TTZ — a ready-made C&I demand base for rooftop, captive and open-access solar.
The UP policy tailwind is strong. The UP Solar Energy Policy 2022 targets 22 GW by 2026-27 (14 GW utility parks, 4.5 GW residential + 1.5 GW non-residential rooftop, 2 GW PM-KUSUM), is expected to attract about ₹80,000 crore, and pushes MSME rooftop solar across UPSIDA industrial hubs. UP is also developing designated "Solar Cities" — a frame Agra fits perfectly.
Why Agra is India's most compliance-driven clean energy market.
Inside a 10,400 sq km Supreme-Court-protected zone, coal and coke are banned and polluting industries are restricted. Clean energy here is not a choice — it is the licence to operate. That converts "should we?" into "how fast, and with whom?"
Agra's footwear & leather cluster, Firozabad's glass and bangle units, foundries, cold-chain and the hospitality economy are all energy-intensive and all inside the TTZ — a ready-made C&I base for rooftop, captive and open-access solar.
UP Solar Energy Policy 2022 targets 22 GW by 2026-27 with ~₹80,000 crore of expected investment, a residential rooftop subsidy and an MSME rooftop push across UPSIDA hubs. UPNEDA, TTZ Authority, Invest UP and the District Administration share one flagship narrative: Agra will protect the Taj by going green.
Senior dignitaries from UPNEDA, the TTZ Authority, Invest UP and the District Administration are being confirmed. The Chief Guest announcement will be published here shortly.
Policymakers, UPNEDA and TTZ officials, C&I energy buyers, EPCs, BESS integrators and EV infrastructure leaders are being finalised for the Agra Edition. The full speaker panel will be announced here soon.
Three pillar sessions plus an open floor, each anchored to the TTZ's defining reality: in a diesel-restricted zone, solar replaces diesel power, storage replaces the diesel generator, and EVs replace the diesel engine. Three sessions, one story.
