Indore, widely recognized as India’s cleanest city, is now gearing up to become a major hub for electric mobility, clean energy, and sustainable innovation. On June 26, 2026, the city will host HEV Capital Connect at Sheraton Grand Palace, a first-of-its-kind EV investment summit that aims to connect promising startups with investors, corporates, and policymakers.
The event is expected to attract over 200 industry leaders, startup founders, investors, and government representatives. With investment interest already crossing ₹50 crore, the summit reflects the growing confidence in sectors such as electric vehicles, battery technology, charging infrastructure, logistics, climate tech, and sustainable development.
One of the biggest highlights of the event will be the live pitching session by 10 selected startups. These startups have been shortlisted through a rigorous screening process from over 2,400 registrations, making them some of the most promising ventures in the country. The selected founders will present their business ideas directly to venture capital firms, angel investors, and corporate decision-makers.
The summit will also witness the presence of key leaders, including Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, Madhya Pradesh Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya, MP Shankar Lalwani, and Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav.
Organized by Humans of EV, the event aims to create meaningful connections between startups and investors while addressing challenges and opportunities within the EV ecosystem.
