IDEC has become one of the world’s leading platforms for energy experts to exchange knowledge and has become our flagship event in the industry.
Now in its 19th year, IDEC 2026 will be held in Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, 21-22 May. As in the past, exhibition will be running concurrently along with the conference.
IDEC 2025 saw a participation of 350 delegates from more than 75 regional and international companies and 15 different countries.
IDEC was launched as a platform to bring & share latest trends & developments & future of the oil & gas industry. The focus of IDEC is on India’s energy landscape, in-depth understanding of near to long-term exploration, development & investment opportunities.
Development of training programs and educational initiatives is the need of the hour to build awareness and skills related to sustainable practices in the industry. By working together, stakeholders can drive meaningful change and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
IDEC serves as a distinguished platform for advancing technological innovation, operational safety, and best practices within the oil, gas, and energy domains. Convened in Mumbai, India’s primary energy hub, the conference facilitates collaboration among industry professionals, subject-matter experts, and regulatory authorities to address emerging challenges and future opportunities in energy development.
As the world’s energy landscape evolves, the focus on production enhancement and energy security becomes increasingly vital. IDEC 2026 aims to address these challenges by showcasing cutting-edge strategies and technological advancements that drive efficient resource development and sustainable growth.

The professionals we felicitate represent decades of commitment, technical excellence, and principled leadership. Through cycles of volatility, technological change, and evolving energy priorities, they have stood as anchors of stability guiding teams, mentoring talent, and delivering value with integrity and foresight.
Their contributions extend far beyond projects and balance sheets. They have built institutions, nurtured future leaders, and upheld the highest standards of safety, ethics, and operational discipline. Many of the practices and benchmarks we consider standard today are a result of the groundwork laid by these pioneers.
As the energy landscape continues to evolve, their legacy serves as a powerful reminder that progress is built on experience, wisdom, and responsibility. The transition toward a more sustainable and resilient energy future will continue to draw strength from the foundations they have established.
Their journey inspires us, their leadership guides us, and their legacy will continue to influence generations to come.
It is our privilege at IDEC to felicitate these distinguished leaders for their outstanding contribution to the oil and gas sector.
Join us in celebrating them.

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to be a part of IDEC.
In a time of rapid transformation, our industries are being reshaped by innovation, collaboration, and bold leadership. This conference was founded with a clear purpose: to create a platform where ideas meet execution, where experience meets fresh thinking, and where meaningful conversations lead to real-world impact.
We believe that progress does not happen in silos. It emerges when industry leaders, policymakers, technologists, entrepreneurs, and young professionals come together to share insights, challenge assumptions, and co-create solutions for the future. IDEC is designed to encourage dialogue, foster partnerships, and spark innovations that extend well beyond an event.
We are living in a time where industries are being reimagined, technologies are redefining possibilities, and expectations from leadership have never been higher. Incremental change is no longer enough. What is required is courage to question convention, to embrace innovation, and to collaborate beyond boundaries.
We strive to bring together visionaries, practitioners, and change-makers who are not just observing the future, but actively building it. Here, conversations are meant to challenge the status quo, insights are meant to inspire action, and partnerships are meant to outlast the event itself.
The true value of IDEC lies not only in what is shared on stage, but in the connections forged, the perspectives exchanged, and the collective ambition that emerges to influence industries, communities, and the generations that follow.
Together, let us shape the future.
