Geopolitics, technology and sustainability priorities are reshaping the energy and resources sector. The consequent changes in enterprise strategy, structure, capabilities and ways of working have become pronounced. The energy production and supply landscape has also been changing with renewables, energy storage, and now nuclear power (almost a pariah just two years ago) becoming mainstream. Since early in the year, we also have heightened geopolitical impacts that has inserted new uncertainty in energy demand, prices and supply chains. All of these are material bearing on the market dynamics and strategies, which is what we will explore at ENRich 2025.
Reimagining the energy enterprise in times of change and uncertainty
Beyond the impact of heightened geopolitics, there are some significant trends at play that will reshape the energy industry. Modern AI is the foremost among them and there is no doubt that it is reshaping the energy sector. It presents challenges, such as navigating cybersecurity risks, addressing ethical considerations and of course the demands it places on our industry. At the same time, AI offers transformative opportunities — optimizing operations, innovative product development, driving predictive maintenance to boost efficiency, radically transforming safety, and much more. With the advent of AI/ML, Generative AI and Agentic AI coming together to deliver unforeseen possibilities, the sector is expected to witness a very fast paced change. This is also fundamentally reshaping the construct of a modern energy organisation.
ENRich, KPMG in India’s flagship ENR conclave, is not a usual conference – it serves as a major forum for ideation among senior stakeholders in a very different format that provides space for open deliberations and identification of consequential actions with significant participation from senior policy makers and industry leaders on the panels.
Join us on 16 and 17 September 2025 at ENRich, KPMG in India’s flagship ENR conclave, which serves as a major forum for ideation among senior stakeholders.

ENRich 2025 Op-ed | 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱-𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟑𝟓𝟎 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆. Here, 𝗦𝗔𝗙 (𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝘃𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹) offers a realistic bridge between growth and sustainability. Unlike many countries, India enjoys a natural feedstock advantage. It produces around 680 million tonnes of agricultural residue annually, of which 180 million tonnes is surplus. Add to this used cooking oil, non-edible oilseeds, sugarcane by-products like bagasse and press mud, and organic municipal waste, and the potential is significant - An expert perspective by Vivek Rahi, KPMG India.

KPMG in India
Nikhil Moghe participated in a panel discussion on the topic titled – ‘Unlocking India’s Circular Bio-Economy: Advanced Biofuels & Bio-Based Products’, which was part of NDTV 24x7 and Profit’s Green Rev 2025 event held in Delhi. The program aired on both NDTV Profit and NDTV 24x7.
For investors, the question remains one of risk coverage. Nikhil Moghe, partner at KPMG India, noted that mechanisms already exist globally. "There are guarantee products in the market, and beyond guarantee products, some risk-sharing facilities have already been defined by global funding institutes for products in nascent stages," he explained. The challenge, he said, lies in dovetailing these products into the Indian ecosystem and aligning them with government policy.
