In 2024, India's cleantech narrative underwent crucial changes, emphasizing investments in solar power, electric vehicle infrastructure, green hydrogen, and nuclear fusion to address the growing climate crisis as the country steps into 2025. Despite notable progress in cleantech and climate tech innovation, the pace of advancement lags behind the accelerating climate challenges, highlighted by extreme weather events affecting millions and causing substantial destruction. The country faces the urgency to shift from fossil fuels to reach net zero emissions by 2070, necessitating substantial investments in renewable energy sources. Private funding in India's cleantech sector has declined, indicating a gap in later-stage investments for climate tech startups. The sector calls for advancements in renewable energy solutions, waste recycling, carbon capture, and stricter ESG regulations for corporations to drive impactful change. The future of India's cleantech lies in scaling green hydrogen projects, with startups focusing on cost-efficient production through tech innovation and scale, supported by government financial aid. Energy conservation and industrial automation are also key areas for climate tech investors in India to enhance energy efficiency. The transition to a greener future in India's cleantech sector holds promise for transformative changes domestically and globally.
