EnergNiti Samman

Awards Overview

EnergNiti Samman is the highest recognition conferred at the EnergNiti Dialogue — a tribute to the trailblazers who are reshaping India’s energy future through visionary leadership, bold enterprise, and relentless innovation.

Rooted in the summit’s overarching theme — Urja. Udyam. Udaan — the Samman series honours individuals and organisations across the entire spectrum of the Indian energy ecosystem: from hydrocarbons to renewables, transmission to clean fuels, digitalisation to infrastructure. These awards go beyond celebrating output; they recognise strategic foresight, transformative initiatives, and national impact.

The EnergNiti Samman laureates are those who not only lead change but embody it — Ministers and Secretaries who reimagine policy, CEOs and CMDs who scale industrial transformation, innovators driving new energies, and institutions building resilient systems.

Each recognition under the Samman umbrella is mapped to a Sanskrit-rooted award pillar, honouring excellence in a manner that mirrors India's civilisational depth and technological ambition.

These awards are not just accolades — they are affirmations of a shared national mission: energy independence, sustainability, and global leadership.
