India has recently become a leading destination for clean technology funding, surpassing China. In the third quarter, India secured approximately $2.4 billion in clean tech deals, over four times China’s total. This momentum is attributed to India’s push for local green manufacturing and a commitment to becoming a global green technology exporter. Notable investments include over a dozen renewable energy and electric vehicle companies. Despite these advancements, India still lags behind China in year-to-date investments, as it aims to mobilize $12.4 trillion to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Clean startups face challenges in securing growth-stage funding.
