According to the local media in Kathmandu, Khadka is scheduled to address two ministerial-level sessions on 'Clean Cooking' and the 'Energy Access Gap' at the event which will witness participation of over 250 speakers, including energy ministers, global CEOs, industry influencers and technology visionaries in over 90 panel discussions.

The visiting Nepali delegation also includes the Ministry's senior energy expert Prabal Adhikari and finance expert Amit Shrestha.

The event is to be organised by the Federation of Indian Petroleum Industry under the patronage of India's Ministry for Petroleum and Natural Gases.

It is expected to accelerate progress towards a sustainable energy future by sharing knowledge and disrupting conventional thinking. The global gathering will convene energy leaders, policymakers and innovators from around the world to address the sector's most pressing challenges and drive actionable solutions for a sustainable energy future.

As one of the world's fastest-growing economies and a pivotal player in the global energy transition, India offers a dynamic model for balancing economic growth with sustainability. India Energy Week 2025 will highlight cutting-edge technologies, ambitious decarbonisation initiatives and investment opportunities that align with global energy goals.
