2070
India's Net Zero target year, with ambitious interim commitments already in motion across energy, transport, and industry.
200 MT
Potential CO₂ reduction per year by 2030 through renewable energy expansion replacing coal-based power in Indian industry.
40%
Share of India's total electricity consumption (~1,600 TWh in 2022) attributed to the industrial sector — a massive decarbonization target.

India's decarbonization process will touch almost every economic, business and industrial activity — and in parallel, will result in a large number of attractive business opportunities. CO3 maps these opportunities so you can identify where to build, invest, and lead.
