About GGGI in India

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 renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable landscapes have accelerated India’s progress towards its national targets and global environmental goals.

Transformative Renewable Energy initiatives like BioCNG, Floating Solar, 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.

Our Collective Journey

In the last six years of its operations, GGGI India has played a pivotal role in accelerating access to climate finance and green investments. In 2022, GGGI mobilized USD 410 million followed by USD 275 million in 2023 and USD 500 million in 2024, through renewable energy and energy efficiency and thematic bonds initiatives. These projects are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, generate green jobs and provide access to sustainable energy to millions in India.

GGGI’s policy advisory has driven significant reforms, including the revision of BioCNG buyback prices, scaling up the ESCO market in the MSME sector with revolving fund mechanisms, and enhancing renewable energy integration in through Integrated Resource Planning for Himachal Pradesh’s power grid.

In 2023-24 alone, GGGI conducted more than 80 capacity-building training sessions and outreach activities, engaging 145 government officials and 2800 stakeholders from the river catchment community, privates and public sectors, including 545 women. These efforts have advanced the green growth agenda and fostered collaboration across diverse stakeholders.
