Positive Impact Day India 2025

What does the reshaping of global trade mean for India’s energy transition? How can India’s auto sector accelerate the switch to electric vehicles? How can decarbonisation unlock new opportunities in India’s hard-to-abate sectors?
Societe Generale is pleased to host the India edition of our Positive Impact Day conference series, where we will be exploring these questions in more detail. With international commitments to decarbonisation in flux and energy security firmly in focus, this will be your opportunity to hear from industry leaders and finance experts on the outlook for India’s energy transition.
