During the Mercom India Renewables Summit 2024, Vikram Sheth, Head of Investment Banking at New Age, cited Mercom’s analysis, emphasizing the need for India to add 50 GW of renewable capacity annually over the next 5-6 years. He estimated that this expansion would require around ₹900 billion ($10.7 billion) to ₹1 trillion ($11.9 billion) in equity annually.

Thanks to robust government support and improving economics, India’s renewable energy sector has become increasingly attractive to investors. As the country strives to achieve its net-zero targets, the renewable sector is poised to contribute over $1 trillion to the economy by 2030 and $15 trillion by 2070. FDI will be crucial in bringing the necessary capital to drive this transformation.Agra Wealth Management
