Rising Infrastructure Investments
The government is prioritizing sustainable infrastructure projects including renewable energy, smart cities, and electric vehicle (EV) charging networks. These projects require substantial funding, catalyzing the demand for green bonds and sustainability-linked loans. Financial institutions are expanding green finance offerings to support eco-friendly infrastructure projects across various sectors. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are facilitating large-scale sustainable infrastructure development with long-term financing solutions. International investors and development banks are providing capital for sustainable infrastructure projects in India. Renewable energy infrastructure such as solar and wind farms, is attracting significant sustainable investments. Green buildings and energy-efficient urban infrastructure are becoming key focus areas for sustainable finance initiatives. Sustainable transportation projects like metro expansions and electric buses, are enhancing green finance adoption. The shift toward climate-resilient infrastructure is encouraging banks to develop innovative sustainable financing mechanisms. Recognizing the need for long-term funding, in 2024, SBI raised ₹10,000 crore through an infrastructure bond issue at a 7.70% coupon rate for 15 years. The funds would support large-scale infrastructure projects, strengthening India’s sustainable finance market and enhance investor confidence. The issue witnessed strong demand, with bids exceeding ₹21,045 crore, highlighting faith in India’s infrastructure growth and economic resilience. Policy support and corporate sustainability goals are further aligning with green finance to strengthen the India sustainable finance market growth.
Growth of Green Bonds and Loans
The increasing number of green bonds and loans is significantly influencing the India sustainable finance market outlook. Corporates and financial institutions are increasingly issuing green bonds to finance renewable energy and sustainability projects. Green loans are supporting eco-friendly initiatives including water conservation, energy efficiency, and low-carbon infrastructure development. Government policies and regulatory frameworks are encouraging the issuance of green bonds to fund sustainable initiatives. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) are promoting green finance instruments. Investor demand for sustainable investments is increasing, supporting capital inflows into green bonds and sustainability-linked loans. International financial institutions are strengthening India’s green bond market by investing in certified sustainable projects. In June 2024, British International Investment (BII) and Symbiotics Investments jointly launched a $75 million Green Bond Fund to support India’s clean energy transition. The fund would finance clean transportation, renewable energy, green buildings, and energy efficiency, focusing on micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) lenders. This initiative aimed to expand green lending and climate-focused investments, strengthening India’s sustainable finance market. Renewable energy developers are raising funds through green bonds for wind, solar, and hydroelectric power projects. Infrastructure companies are utilizing green loans to finance climate-resilient projects and carbon reduction initiatives. Additionally, sustainable finance instruments are reducing financial risks while improving long-term social and environmental benefits. The expansion of sustainable bonds and loans is accelerating India’s shift toward a low-carbon economy.
