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.
