This document discusses the opportunities for green energy investment in India. It notes that fossil fuels currently account for 64% of India's energy but cause significant pollution, while renewable sources only make up 10%. Investing in wind and solar energy could help India reduce its pollution while tapping into its renewable potential. The document outlines various domestic and international funding agencies that could help finance green energy projects in India, including commercial banks, public pension funds, and organizations like the World Bank. It argues that the private sector must play a lead role in developing sustainable energy solutions and that this investment could have significant outcomes like mobilizing funds, providing clean energy, improving health and the environment, and helping achieve global development goals.

2. Why Green Energy ?
• Fossil fuels is the biggest source
of pollution.
• Coal alone, source of 41% of the
world’s electricity.
• Pollution causes disease,
degradation and climate change.
• 23 % of the global disease
burden due to pollution (WHO).
• Air pollution cause of 1.3 million
premature deaths yearly .
• Green energy is solution to all
such distress.

3. What is green energy ?

4. Opportunities in India

dirty fossil fuel 64%.
• Renewable energy
constitute just 10%.
• India already facing
pollution impact.
• Huge potential and
wider geographical
spread.
