India is increasingly adopting sustainability practices driven by government policies, a growing corporate focus, and the need to combat climate change. Key initiatives include ambitious targets for renewable energy, which has the fastest-growing capacity globally, and the promotion of sustainable agriculture through techniques like organic farming and water conservation. In the corporate sector, the government has mandated sustainability reporting, and a circular economy framework is being developed, though challenges in implementation remain. 

Renewable energy and climate action 

Ambitious targets: India aims for a massive 450 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and has a net-zero target by 2070.

Fast-growing sector: The country has the fastest-growing renewable energy capacity in the world and is already the third-largest producer of renewable energy.

Policy support: Initiatives like the National Green Hydrogen Policy are being promoted to foster low-emission fuels.
