Transforming India's Climate Finance through Sector-Specific Financial Institutions Part 3
This final blog in our series on “Transforming India’s Climate Finance Landscape” spotlights a bold opportunity: establishing a Green and Transition Finance (GTF) Window within key state-owned FIs. Building on their legacy in the power sector, this initiative could unlock targeted capital flows for emissions reduction and clean tech adoption in hard-to-abate sectors. As India advances toward its net-zero targets, the GTF Window offers a critical pathway to scale green and transition finance, derisk projects, and attract global investment.
