New Delhi: India's growing pipeline of clean industrial projects is now the third largest in the world after China and the US and represents a tremendous opportunity for sustainable industrial development in the coming decades, a joint report from the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA) and BCG said.
India's current project pipeline represents a transformative investment opportunity, with an estimated capital requirement exceeding $150 billion to reach operational status, it said.
To put this in perspective, the required investment is nearly twice the total FDI inflows India received in FY25.
Much of this pipeline comprises greenfield facilities, particularly in the chemicals sector, hydrogen and port infrastructure, and core industrial production assets. These investments can accelerate India's industrial growth under the 'Make in India' initiative, strengthen domestic supply chains, and position the country as a global hub for clean industrial production, it said.
India is rapidly emerging as a global industrial hub, with surging production and consumption in core heavy industries such as steel, cement, chemicals, aviation, and shipping that is powering economic growth and employment.
