Indian conglomerates invest heavily – A move towards a greener future

The leading Indian conglomerates are embarking on a remarkable capital offensive: over the next ten years, they plan to nearly triple their investments, amounting to an impressive 800 billion US dollars. This move follows extensive spending in the past decade and aims to drive corporate growth while steering the Indian economy towards a more sustainable model. According to a recent report by S&P Global Ratings, about 40 percent of this substantial amount will be directed towards new and future-oriented business sectors. The focus is particularly on green technologies and innovative industries such as hydrogen, clean energy, semiconductors, electric vehicles, and aviation. These sectors are not only potentially profitable but also essential for the sustainable development of India. Among the Indian economic giants actively participating in this investment surge are the Adani Group, Reliance Industries, and the Tata Group. These three major corporate groups alone plan to invest around 350 billion US dollars in the mentioned sectors. This underscores their strategic focus on growth and ecological responsibility.
