The energy and refining sectors are set to converge as Refining India 2025 arrives in the capital city on 22–23 September 2025, hosted at Le Méridien Hotel, New Delhi. Co-organized by PTQ Magazine and supported by IDS, this two-day summit will unite more than 280 international industry leaders- from senior executives to process engineers-offering critical insight into the future of India’s refinery and petrochemical industries.
Entering its 2025 edition, Refining India emphasizes a powerful agenda focused on refining, petrochemical integration, process optimization, energy efficiency, digital transformation, AI advancements, and energy transition technologies. The summit provides a platform for technology innovators, project managers, policy makers, and investors to explore how India’s refining capacity transition-projected to reach 309 million metric tons by 2028-can be guided by sustainability and innovation.
Discussions at the summit will explore emerging themes such as novel catalyst technologies, low-carbon fuels, and clean hydrogen. Participants will examine transitions from traditional refinery outputs toward high-value petrochemical products, and how global best practices and emerging process designs can support India’s net-zero ambitions. With India pushing toward green hydrogen, ethanol blending, compressed biogas, and biomass-based fuels, the conference aims to underpin sector transformation.
The event also serves as a forum for knowledge exchange through a curated program of keynote presentations, panel debates, and case studies shared by major global players and domestic refiners. Attendees will delve into topics such as process intensification, catalyst selection, carbon capture technologies, and desalting efficiency optimization-highlighting opportunities to reduce emissions, improve margins, and drive sustainable growth.
With India’s downstream sector under pressure to deliver on energy security and economic sustainability goals, Refining India 2025 emerges as an essential meeting point. Delegates are expected to include refinery CEOs, chief engineers, technology partners, consultants, and government executives. The summit enables actionable insights, coalition-building, and strategic collaboration to navigate the electric transition era.
Delegates can also benefit from networking sessions tailored to foster partnerships between technology providers and India’s top-tier refinery operators. The event brings together key sponsors such as Alfa Laval, Endress+Hauser, Berthold Technologies, HOERBIGER, Axens, Sabin Metal Corporation, and others-highlighting the international interest and sector alignment fueling the summit’s relevance.
At a time when India’s refining industry is projected to double capacity and integrate deeply with petrochemicals and biofuels, Refining India 2025 positions itself at the intersection of innovation and policy, growth and sustainability. With visionaries charting the way forward, the summit promises a blend of foresight, collaboration, and actionable strategy to shape India’s energy future.
In essence, Refining India 2025 in New Delhi is not merely an industry event-it is a platform for transformation. From global technology trends to energy policy shifts, the summit brings India’s refining ecosystem together to fuel innovation, enhance efficiency, and accelerate sustainability in the energy sector.
