The Energy Transition Index (ETI) 2026 was released by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Accenture, highlighting progress and challenges in the global energy transition.
The index measures countries' progress towards secure, sustainable, and equitable energy systems and their readiness for future energy transition.
India ranked 70th globally, improving by 2 places from the previous year and emerging as one of the strongest global improvers in energy transition readiness.
India's progress was driven by renewable energy expansion, grid infrastructure development, green hydrogen initiatives, and increased investment in sustainability and clean-energy infrastructure.
The index assesses 120 countries using 44 indicators, with scores based on system performance (60%) and transition readiness (40%).
Sweden, Finland, and Denmark retained the top three positions globally in the ETI 2026 rankings.
