11th India PSU IT Forum & Awards 2026


The Rise of Intelligent PSUs: Vision, Innovation & Impact

The 11th India PSU IT Forum & Awards 2026, curated by Governance Now, serves as a premier platform bringing together PSU leaders, CIOs/CTOs, industry experts, and technology innovators to deliberate on the future of digital transformation in the public sector.

The forum will focus on sector-specific challenges and opportunities across:

  • Oil & Gas
  • Defence & Manufacturing
  • Power, Energy & Services

The 11th India PSU IT Forum & Awards 2026 aims to serve as a catalyst in this transformation journey by enabling meaningful dialogue, fostering collaboration, and delivering actionable insights to build future-ready, intelligent PSUs for a digitally empowered India. It envisions a future where PSUs evolve beyond traditional service delivery to become intelligent engines of national growth and governance excellence.

The rise of intelligent PSUs marks a defining moment in India’s digital journey. With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), data analytics, cloud computing, cybersecurity frameworks, IoT, and automation, PSUs are reimagining their processes, enhancing efficiency, and enabling data-driven decision-making. The transition from legacy systems to agile, scalable, and secure digital ecosystems is no longer optional—it is imperative for competitiveness, resilience, and sustainable growth. By embracing AI-led innovation, data intelligence, and secure digital ecosystems, PSUs can unlock new levels of efficiency, agility, and impact. As India advances towards a digital economy, PSUs play a critical role in driving innovation, ensuring cybersecurity, and enabling data-driven governance.

The forum will bring together PSU leaders, senior government officials, and industry experts to explore the adoption of emerging technologies across key sectors such as oil & gas, defence, manufacturing, and power. It will provide a platform to share best practices, exchange ideas, and collectively chart a roadmap for building agile, innovative, and impactful PSUs.
