India is making significant strides in sustainability, balancing economic growth with environmental responsibility through renewable energy, industrial reforms, conservation, and climate financing.
Renewable energy growth
India is the world’s third-largest solar power producer, with an installed capacity of 100.33 GW_AC as of early 2025. Large-scale projects like the Bhadla Solar Park and Gujarat Hybrid Renewable Energy Park are key to achieving the 500 GW renewable energy target by 2030.
Sustainable industry
The Indian fashion industry aims to triple its market value to $350 billion by 2030 while reducing emissions. Sustainability efforts include solar-powered factories and biomass boilers, positioning India as a leader in eco-friendly textile production.
Wildlife conservation
Reliance Industries has launched Vantara, a 3,000-acre animal rescue center in Gujarat, housing over 2,000 animals. Equipped with advanced veterinary facilities, it highlights India's commitment to biodiversity preservation.
Climate finance strategies
With an estimated $1.05 trillion needed by 2030 for climate adaptation, India’s central bank is advocating a common pool of climate-focused projects to enhance financing and attract global investments.
Global collaboration
India actively participates in forums like the World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS), reinforcing its role in global sustainability efforts.
By integrating clean energy, responsible industry, conservation, and financial strategies, India is shaping a more sustainable future.
