NEW DELHI: India has pitched an investment opportunity of $300 billion in the green energy sector to global investors at Davos, Union minister Pralhad Joshi said on Thursday. Joshi said rapidly falling renewable tariffs, grid modernisation, and competitive storage and green hydrogen prices have made clean energy central to India’s economic growth strategy.The new and renewable energy recently minister attended the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026 in Davos, Switzerland, and participated in multiple sessions and investor meetings. He used the WEF platform to make a direct pitch to global investors, positioning India as one of the largest and most investment-ready clean energy markets, with an estimated $300–350 billion capital requirement by 2030.
Joshi said the country’s energy transition offered speed, scale, stability and long-term returns at a time when global investors were seeking predictable growth opportunities. Speaking at various sessions, he highlighted the 267 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity India has built so far and emphasised that the country was “firmly on track” to meet its 2030 clean energy targets. He added that India combined large demand with policy certainty, a growing manufacturing base, and strong state-level execution —key factors required to attract long-term global capital.“During bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the forum, the minister engaged with global investors and energy companies to explore investments in the renewable energy sector, including green hydrogen-linked infrastructure, renewable energy plus battery storage and grid modernisation,” the ministry said in a statement.
