India invested Rs 1,443 crore in 1,359 publicly funded clean energy RD&D projects from 2019 to 2024, primarily focusing on renewables like solar photovoltaics, but the funding is weak in manufacturing capabilities critical to support clean energy production ambitions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your clean energy product plans must account for India's current funding bias towards renewables over manufacturing. Investment opportunities now open in manufacturing technologies as this gap must close to hit production targets.
