India could attract cumulative green investments of Rs. 3,60,00,000 crore (US$ 4.03 trillion) over the next two decades through 2047, according to a study by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), which identifies 36 green value chains across energy transition, circular economy, and bioeconomy and nature-based solutions. The analysis estimates that these segments could unlock an annual green market worth Rs. 98,16,400 crore (US$ 1.10 trillion) by 2047. Energy transition is expected to dominate, drawing investments of Rs. 3,38,21,960 crore (US$ 3.79 trillion) across renewables, storage, distributed energy, and clean mobility manufacturing, while bioeconomy and nature-based solutions could generate a market value of Rs. 37,03,460 crore (US$ 415 billion). The study underscores India’s opportunity to build future infrastructure around circularity and clean energy, leveraging its still-developing urban and industrial landscape to accelerate green growth.
The report highlights that while the investment potential is substantial, realising it will require addressing several structural challenges. These include reducing capital costs for early-stage sectors, strengthening supply chains for raw and recycled materials, enhancing research and development and innovation capacity, creating a skilled green workforce, and establishing robust product standards for emerging technologies. It also stresses the importance of coordinated policymaking, private sector participation, and long-term financing mechanisms to scale investments efficiently. By aligning its development pathway with sustainability principles, India can position itself as a global green economy leader while supporting resilient growth, job creation, and long-term environmental stability.
