Conceived in 2008, the India Power Awards is another pioneering initiative taken by the Council to acknowledge and recognize the great work done by individuals and organizations in the Power sector.
India Power Awards stand out from all the other Awards that have cropped up in recent times, due to many factors: The scope and gamut of the Award categories, the most eminent panel of judges as the Jury members and the underlying objective of recognizing the work done by the most junior level management as well.
Most recently, an addition has been made to the Award Categories to encompass engineering colleges, research institutes and budding engineers. This is in consonance with the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narender Modi’s view that the youth of the country should be encouraged to create, invent and add new ideas to the Indian power sector.
Unlike other Awards, there is no Nomination Fee associated with any category and no limit to the number of nominations that one can file in.
Throughout the past eight years, the India Power Awards have been buoyed and encouraged by leading personnel who have acted as Chief Guests. Some of them include Shri P. Laxmiah, Shri Kiran Kumar Reddy, Shri Suresh P. Prabhu, Shri etc.
The 9th India Power Awards will take place in November 2016 in New Delhi.
