IFGE recognises achievements across renewable energy, biofuels, biomass, clean mobility and waste management at an awards ceremony and bioenergy seminar in New Delhi.
New Delhi, October 15, 2026: The Indian Federation of Green Energy (IFGE) organised the 6th India Green Energy Awards (IGEA) on October 14 at Atal Akshaya Urja Bhawan, CGO Complex, New Delhi, recognising organisations contributing to India’s clean-energy transition. Held alongside a seminar titled “Bio Pathways to Net Zero: Biomass & Bioenergy”, the event brought together policymakers, industry leaders and technology providers to discuss opportunities in renewable energy and bioenergy.
Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy and Power, Government of India, felicitated the award recipients and emphasised the importance of indigenous technology, domestic manufacturing and government-industry collaboration. He congratulated the winners and highlighted the need to scale practical clean-energy innovations that can deliver measurable outcomes and support India’s energy transition.
The awards recognised contributions across solar power, hydropower, compressed biogas (CBG), biomass, ethanol, renewable-energy financing, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), wind power, waste management and electric mobility. HPCL Renewable and Green Energy Limited received recognition as a solar power producer, while Aditya Green Energy Private Limited was honoured as a solar-sector EPC contractor. Reliance Industries Limited was recognised in the CBG producer category, and NTPC Limited for biomass co-firing. Other awardees included Godavari Biorefineries Limited for biomass production, Swaraj Green Power & Fuel Limited for sugar ethanol production, NIIF Infrastructure Finance Limited for renewable-energy financing, and Hindustan Waste Treatment Private Limited for waste management. TATA Capital Limited was recognised for innovative electric-vehicle financing, while Biofuel Circle Private Limited received recognition for its biomass supply-chain contribution.
The ceremony was attended by industry representatives, including Ashish Kumar, Vice President, IFGE and Managing Director, Verbio India; Ravi Gupta, Chairman, Sugar Bioenergy Forum, IFGE and Executive Director, Renuka Sugars Limited; Dr. Ashvini Kumar, Advisor, Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation; and Sanjay Ganjoo, Director General, IFGE. CareEdge served as Knowledge Partner, TERI as Institutional Partner and the Solar Energy Society of India as Supporting Partner.
The accompanying seminar explored the National Bioenergy Programme, the GOBARdhan framework, CBG under SATAT, biomass aggregation, biomass co-firing under the SAMARTH Mission, digestate utilisation and emerging products such as biochar and bio-bitumen. Speakers highlighted bioenergy’s potential to improve energy security, increase farmers’ incomes, generate rural employment and reduce industrial emissions.
Discussions emphasised commercially viable projects, reliable feedstock supply, efficient logistics, assured offtake and stable policies as essential to scaling India’s bioenergy sector. The event underscored the role of indigenous innovation, integrated value chains and industry collaboration in advancing India’s clean-energy and net-zero ambitions.
