ABB India held a stakeholder roundtable called “Outrun with Energy Efficiency” on August 20, 2025, in New Delhi. The event brought together customers, partners, policymakers, and industry leaders to broadcast energy efficiency as an important factor for industrial competitiveness and India’s net-zero goals.

The discussions focused on generating practical insights to help India achieve its climate commitments while ensuring productivity and profitability for businesses. While renewable energy remains essential, energy efficiency was identified as the quickest, most cost-effective, and cleanest solution to tackle climate change and enhance industrial competitiveness.

Participants emphasized that energy efficiency is more than a technical solution - it is an imperative that requires collaboration across industries. Key challenges such as lack of awareness and a tendency to prioritise initial capital expenditure over the long-term total cost of ownership were also discussed. The roundtable concluded with a shared vision of a “smart, sustainable, and digitally empowered India” where businesses can achieve sustainability goals while gaining a competitive edge.
