May 22: India’s shift toward cleaner industrial energy systems is projected to unlock a decarbonisation opportunity worth nearly $100 billion by 2030, driven by investments in low-carbon technologies and improved energy efficiency across key sectors.
Industries such as steel, cement, chemicals, and manufacturing are gradually adopting cleaner production processes as part of efforts to reduce emissions and meet sustainability targets. This transition is also being supported by policy measures aimed at encouraging greener industrial practices and expanding the use of renewable energy.
Experts note that the move toward decarbonisation is not only aligned with India’s climate commitments but also expected to enhance long-term industrial competitiveness by lowering energy costs and improving resource efficiency. Emerging solutions like green hydrogen and electrification are likely to play an important role in this transformation.
Analysts believe that with sustained investment and strong policy support, India can position itself as a leading hub for sustainable industrial growth while advancing its environmental and economic goals together.
