India is an increasingly important investor in renewables and had committed $90 billion by the end of the first half of this year. The initiative to make such a huge investment is praiseworthy but at the same time, we need all the stakeholders and members to come together and act on the same mission. This year, along with a slew of engagements like CEO Roundtable, Financial Leadership Forum, awards and content-rich conference named "Giving the Business of Power…. The Power to Do Business', our focus was on innovations that will inspire Indian manufacturers. India is one of the countries with the largest production of energy from renewable sources. To continue the momentum, we need to address the challenges and aid India's green mission. REI Expo is that platform for the RE domain, with its unique dynamism and remarkable participation from key stakeholders."
