wera oad wer Fal Prime Minister MESSAGE It is gratifying to learn about the 10" anniversary of India Energy Storage Alliance and India Energy Storage Week 2022. The organisation of an international conference in hybrid mode on energy storage, eMobility, green hydrogen and microgrids in India is most relevant to our times. In an energy-driven world, while energy production is important, energy conservation and efficiency also hold the key to sustainability. As the demand for energy intensifies, renewable energy sources are the way forward to further reduce our carbon footprint on Mother Earth. Energy storage remains a crucial aspect with renewable energy. Innovative solutions to enhance our storage capacity are the need of the hour. Steps like financial provisions for battery swapping policy and interoperability standards exemplify our commitment towards a vibrant energy storage sector. The gathering of national and international domain experts, policy-makers, industry representatives and buyers-sellers will facilitate a comprehensive dialogue on ramping up energy storage capacity. The various sessions and workshops on a wide spectrum of issues including electric mobility, manufacturing, R&D and safety standards will go a long way in preparing a futuristic roadmap to expand energy storage capacity. I wish the deliberations at the conference all success. Greetings and best wishes for 10" anniversary of India Energy Storage Alliance and India Energy Storage Week 2022. oe i (Narendra Modi) New Delhi dere 10, a Hag 1944 30" April, 2022
