India showcased its potential as a leading clean energy market at the ‘World Economic Forum 2026’ in Davos. With an estimated capital requirement of $300–$350 billion by 2030, the country attracted global investors by emphasizing its energy transition offerings of speed, scale, stability, and long-term returns. Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, led India’s engagement at the forum, underscoring the nation’s progress in achieving its clean energy targets and the existing 267 GW non-fossil fuel capacity.
Joshi highlighted India’s appeal based on affordability, reliability, and energy security, driven by decreasing renewable tariffs, modernized grids, and competitive prices for storage and green hydrogen. The country’s attractiveness to global capital is supported by its combination of high demand, policy consistency, expanding manufacturing sector, and effective state-level implementation. During the event, Joshi interacted with international investors and energy firms to discuss potential investments in renewable energy, particularly in green hydrogen infrastructure, RE with battery storage, and grid enhancements.
India’s emphasis on the pivotal role of states in the energy transition was notable, citing examples like Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, which have excelled in delivering competitive solar and storage projects and emerging as green hydrogen hubs. The country projected itself as a secure and forward-looking destination for clean energy investments, positioning itself as a stable market with promising opportunities for global investors.
