From September 2–4 in New Delhi, the Bharat Electricity 2025 forum will serve as a policy coordination platform to align India’s ambitious renewable goals with financial structures. With over 10,000 participants, including senior ministers, it underscores the government’s recognition that the 500 GW by 2030 target requires unprecedented coordination.
Key focus areas: grid modernisation, large-scale battery storage, InvIT financing, viability gap funding (VGF), and offshore wind frameworks. India requires $20–25 billion annually in grid and storage investments. Reliance solely on state-backed borrowing is unsustainable, pushing policy toward green bonds, securitisation, and blended finance instruments.
“Private capital must be mobilised at scale,” a senior ministry official said. New products like listed green infra funds and yield-bearing InvITs may soon offer investors direct access to India’s energy infrastructure story.
The forum represents not just dialogue but execution of India’s Net Zero by 2070 pathway. It strengthens the government’s role as both policymaker and financial architect, ensuring that ambition translates into investible vehicles.
