Under the global pursuit of carbon neutrality, India's automotive industry is entering a new era of low-carbon and multi-energy development. As one of the world's fastest-growing vehicle markets, India is advancing the formulation of BS-VII emission standards and fuel efficiency regulations, aiming to strengthen full-chain carbon management from fuel to fleet. Meanwhile, the government is promoting diesel, CNG, biofuels, H2 and e-powertrains as parallel development paths, establishing a diversified foundation for the country's powertrain transformation.

Amid the dual challenges of energy transition and market evolution, India's powertrain sector is experiencing a phase of multi-technology coexistence. Conventional ICEs still have room for efficiency improvements, while electrification, hybridization and H2-powered systems are rapidly gaining momentum. Progress in infra, fuel supply and vehicle integration will shape the competitive landscape and sustainability of India's automotive industry over the next decade.

Based on the success of our last 5 editions, the 6^th India Automotive Powertrain Summit 2026 will be held on June 11–12, 2026, in Chennai, under the theme of "Multi-Fuel Paths and Solutions". The summit will focus on emission regulations, clean fuels, electrification and intelligent control systems, serving as a high-level platform that connects policy, technology and market insights to drive India's automotive industry towards a cleaner, smarter and more sustainable future.

You are more than welcome to attend our 6^th India Automotive Powertrain Summit 2026!
