India’s renewable energy sector is at a defining moment. The country has installed 150 GW of solar capacity and added 55.3 GW of non-fossil power in a single financial year — the highest ever. With India now ranked 3rd globally in renewable energy capacity, the clean energy transition is no longer a future goal — it is happening right now.

Against this backdrop, Renewable Asia 2026 arrives as the most important industry event of the year for professionals seeking renewable jobs in India.

What Is Renewable Asia 2026?

Organized by Triune Exhibitors Pvt. Ltd., Renewable Asia 2026 is one of the largest exhibitions dedicated to non-conventional energy technology in Asia. It runs from May 14–17, 2026, at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily.

The event covers solar, wind, bioenergy, energy storage, smart grids, and electric vehicles — bringing together manufacturers, project developers, investors, policymakers, and professionals under one roof.

Key Impacts on the Indian Job Market

The numbers tell a compelling story about where India’s green economy is headed:

Massive Job Volume: The renewable sector is projected to generate over 3 million jobs by 2030. Roughly 1.7 million new opportunities are expected between 2025 and 2027 alone — making this one of the fastest-growing employment sectors in India.
Technological Skill Premium: Approximately 70% of new green jobs now require advanced technical skills — in areas such as AI-led energy optimisation, smart grid management, and battery analytics. Renewable Asia 2026 directly showcases these technologies and the companies deploying them.
Salary Growth: A “green premium” combined with a talent shortfall of 1.5–2 million professionals is pushing salaries upward. Entry-level roles are expected to see up to 15% salary growth in 2026, while senior positions could see increases of up to 30%.
Manufacturing Boom: India’s PLI (Production-Linked Incentive) scheme is transforming the country into a global manufacturing hub for solar modules and green hydrogen. This is creating hundreds of thousands of new roles across supply chains, exports, and component manufacturing.
Current Workforce Size: India’s renewable sector already employs over 453,000 people and accounts for 20% of the global renewable workforce — second only to China.
