India's focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles is gaining momentum with the government introducing policies to promote sustainability and corporate responsibility. The market regulator SEBI mandates top companies to provide Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reports (BRSR) focusing on ESG performance. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has updated guidelines emphasizing ESG factors in corporate governance. India's collaboration in initiatives like the International Solar Alliance (ISA) showcases its commitment to sustainable energy solutions. Despite challenges in adapting to new norms, Indian companies are leveraging ESG strategies to gain competitiveness and attract investments. The climate change policies, including commitments under the Paris Agreement and the hydrogen policy launched in 2022, are influencing businesses towards cleaner energy alternatives and compliance with environmental standards. The government's role in balancing economic growth with climate-friendly regulations is essential, requiring consistent policies for businesses to invest confidently in sustainability practices.
