Partner country with project operations
GGGI India partners with Central and State Government agencies to embed green growth into the nation’s development agenda. Since 2018, GGGI’s efforts in green investments, policy advisory, and capacity building across key sectors, including low-carbon buildings, industrial energy efficiency, sustainable landscapes, renewable energy, electric mobility, and green finance, have accelerated India’s progress towards its national targets and global environmental goals.
Transformative Renewable Energy initiatives like BioCNG, Floating Solar, Integrated Resource Planning, and Green Hydrogen have diversified India’s energy mix. Energy Efficiency projects have optimized industries, buildings, and electric mobility. Sustainable Landscapes projects have pioneered innovative models such as Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) while promoting water conservation, blue carbon economy, and climate-smart agriculture.
In the last seven years of its operations, GGGI in India has played a pivotal role in accelerating access to climate finance and green investments. As of 2025, GGGI has mobilized USD 1.376 billion, including USD 876 million through policy and project development, and USD 500 million through green bond issuances. These initiatives are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, generate green jobs, and expand access to sustainable energy for millions across India.
GGGI has submitted 16 policy advisories that have contributed to significant reforms, including the revision of BioCNG buyback prices, the scaling up of the ESCO market in the MSME sector through revolving fund mechanisms, and enhanced renewable energy integration through Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) for Himachal Pradesh’s power grid.
Between 2023 and 2025, GGGI conducted more than 123 capacity-building programs and trained over 5,164 individuals across adaptation and mitigation sectors, including 1,207 women participants and 1,200 government officials. These efforts have advanced the green growth agenda and strengthened collaboration among diverse stakeholders.
GGGI’s impact between 2018 to 2025 in India includes:
– $1.376 Billion in green investment commitments mobilized
– 16 green growth policies supported
– 25.5 Mt CO2e mitigated
– 10,000+ direct green jobs supported
