abstract
India being at crucial point in progression, juggling growing environmental issues with quick economic expansion. As one of the world's fastest-growing major economies and one of the nation most vulnerable towards consequences of climate change, India has set ambitious sustainability objectives, including reaching 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070. These pledges call for hitherto unheard-of levels of cash mobilisation, establishing sustainable investing and green finance as essential tools for India's sustainable development path. In order to provide an integrated picture of market dynamics, policy frameworks, institutional processes, stakeholder responsibilities and implementation issues, this thorough study analyses state of green finance and sustainable investing in India by synthesising academic research. The study has objectives to analyse the current situation and developmental path of India's green finance ecosystem, assess the efficacy of regulatory and policy frameworks, pinpoint the obstacles and facilitators affecting the adoption of sustainable finance, determine the connection between green finance and sustainability outcomes and offer evidence-based suggestions for bolstering India's sustainable finance architecture.
