India presents lucrative opportunities for clean technology companies as it is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The government prioritizes clean energy such as solar, hydro, and wind to reduce emissions and meet growing energy demand. The renewable energy market in India is estimated to be worth $17 billion and growing at 15% annually, yet only 20 GW of the over 200 GW potential has been tapped so far. The government offers various incentives for renewable energy projects and has set targets to develop biomass, solar, hydro, and other clean energy sources by 2020.
