Clean Mobility

Clean Mobility is a $667 Billion Investment opportunity in India, in Electric Mobility alone. The investment would be needed to transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the next 10 years and to develop supporting infrastructure, i.e., charging infrastructure, batteries, and financing.
Clean Mobility could include:

  • Shared Mobility
  • Electric Mobility
  • Vehicle Financing
  • Charging Infrastructure o Energy Storage
  • Low Emission Fuels
  • Other areas that overall reduce vehicular pollution

Clean Energy

Clean Energy is a $448 Billion Investment opportunity in India. This opportunity is created by large scale government commitment to install 175GW of renewable energy by 2020, and by bio-fuels produced from agriculture waste.
Clean Energy could include:

  • Energy Storage
  • Fuel Cells and Hydrogen
  • Carbon Capturing
  • Off-Grid Energy
  • Other areas that reduce consumption of fossil fuels

Waste Management

Solid Waste Management alone is $ 11 Billion Investment Opportunity, considering the fact that India generates 62 million tons of waste annually, and it is expected to grow at a rate of almost 8 per cent per year this becomes a massive opportunity. The investment is needed to bridge the gap between significant amount of waste produced and availability of management infrastructure. Clean Water and Access could include:

  • Waste to Energy
  • Recycling and replacement
  • Plastic Waste management
  • Smart waste collection and segregation

Clean Food & Agriculture

Clean Food is a $194 Billion market opportunity in India. This investment will be needed to increase agricultural productivity, enhance resource efficiency and resilience, and modernize India’s agricultural sector.
Clean Food could include:

  • Organic Food
  • Supply Chain Efficiencies
  • Agritech
  • Sustainable Inputs
  • Smart Irrigation
  • Other areas that reduce chemicals being used in food chain / production.

Green Buildings & Sustainable Built Environment

As per IFC1, Green Buildings are a $ 88 Billion Investment Opportunity, across Residential & Commercial market segments, and it is expected to grow exponentially as only a marginal (2-3%) of new buildings added have green certifications as in 2015. Further only 5% of Indian homes have air conditioning & growth in cooling solutions could itself lead to high electricity requirements & result in GHG emissions. There is a huge investment that needs to be made in the following areas:

  • Building envelopes, as in the physical barriers between exterior & interior of the buildings Lighting
  • Heating, Ventilation & Cooling

Water and Sanitation

Water and Sanitation is a $129 Billion Investment opportunity in India. Investment is needed to collect, treat and manage urban wastewater, and help alleviate urban India’s water stress. Clean Water and Access could include:

  • Water management solutions (retail, commercial and industrial applications)
  • Novel Purification Techniques
  • Other deployment of new technologies to manage water, waste and sanitation.

Sustainable Consumption

Sustainable Consumption is an emerging trend that is covered under UN-SDG Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. As impact of pollution & climate change increase consumer preferences will change towards sustainable products. This will lead to re-engineering of products in the categories below:

  • Products in Home & Kitchen Segment & other FMCG
  • Residential – Air Purifiers, Waste Purification solutions o Travel, packaging, etc
