The annual technology meet of India's refining sector, organised by the Centre for High Technology (CHT) under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, and co-hosted this year by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL). Theme: "Accelerating Energy Innovation: From Research to Commercialisation". The programme has four focus areas and 20 tracks: energy transition and sustainability, refining and industrial excellence, future fuels and biotechnology, and innovation and collaboration. The organisers expect 3,000+ delegates from oil and gas, petrochemicals, renewables, hydrogen and biofuels. Note: the organiser's page gave 8 October 2026 as the registration deadline — contact CHT before making travel plans. Why attend: for suppliers of catalysts, additives, process chemicals and equipment to refineries, this is where the technical heads of the public-sector refiners are in one place.

The 32nd edition of CORCON, the corrosion conference and expo organised by the AMPP India Chapter, with technical symposia and an exhibition. Why attend: corrosion decides how long tanks, pipelines and reactors last. Plant maintenance teams, coating and inhibitor suppliers, and anyone buying corrosion-resistant materials will find their counterparts here.
