According to Sinha, both public sector lenders, such as PFC and REC, and private sector banks are increasingly willing to invest in the green energy sector. This shift in sentiment is a positive sign, as it indicates a growing recognition of the importance of sustainable energy solutions.
In addition to domestic lenders, Sinha emphasized the potential of the international bond market. He noted that India can leverage foreign lenders who are interested in funding specific sectors, including green energy. This could provide a significant boost to India's efforts to secure the necessary funding.
The Indian government has set an ambitious target of achieving 50% of its electricity from non-fossil fuels by 2030. To achieve this goal, significant investment is required in renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. While the task is daunting, Sinha's insights suggest that there are viable options available to secure the necessary funding.
As India continues on its path towards a sustainable future, it is essential to explore all available funding options. By leveraging a combination of domestic and international lenders, as well as public and private sector investment, India can inch closer to achieving its green energy goal.
