India energy transition and decarbonization investment

Overview

Efforts to fund and implement energy transition and decarbonization projects in India have seen significant developments. In July 2026, Transition VC launched Fund II, a $155 million initiative aimed at supporting engineering-led startups across the energy-transition value chain and deep-tech sectors, including nuclear and geothermal energy.

By August 2026, the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA) expanded support for large-scale industrial decarbonization by selecting 11 Indian projects for its India Project Support Programme. These projects, involving companies such as Jindal Steel, JSW Steel, and ACME Group, represent an estimated $18 billion in potential investment and aim to deliver 7.8 million tonnes of annual carbon abatement. The portfolio focuses heavily on green ammonia and green methanol, alongside carbon capture and waste-to-sustainable aviation fuel initiatives.
