India is poised to play a key role in shaping the future of global supply chains. As the nation accelerates its manufacturing ambitions and strengthens its position in the international trade landscape, it faces the dual challenge of fostering economic growth while mitigating its environmental impact. The urgency to address climate change and transition towards a low-carbon economy necessitates a paradigm shift in how India's supply chains operate, and how global supply chains engage with India.

This summit, themed "India's green leap towards Net-Zero supply chains," is a timely initiative to explore and accelerate India's journey towards decarbonizing its industrial and logistics sectors, while also positioning this transformation within the broader context of global sustainability. The focus is on aligning India's national development goals with its climate commitments, forging a path towards a sustainable and resilient future that benefits the entire planet.

India's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, along with its ambitious renewable energy targets and the National Green Hydrogen Mission, demonstrates its determination to lead by example. However, transitioning to net-zero supply chains requires a holistic approach, encompassing policy reforms, technological innovation, financial investments, and collaborative partnerships on a global scale.

This summit will bring together key stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and civil society, both domestically and internationally, to engage in constructive dialogue, share best practices, and develop actionable strategies. By fostering global collaboration and promoting innovation, India can leverage its unique strengths to build a sustainable and competitive supply chain ecosystem that benefits both its economy and the planet.

To navigate this complex landscape and accelerate India's green leap, the summit will feature focused sessions on mobilizing global green finance, decarbonizing global logistics through collaboration and innovation, and facilitating global technology transfer for net-zero supply chains.
