Led by Secretary Mr. Sunil Barthwal, the Indian delegation participated in the inaugural Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF) Clean Economy Investor Forum, aiming to organize investments in sustainable infrastructure, climate technology, and renewable energy projects. He emphasized India’s vast investment opportunities exceeding US$ 500 billion by 2030, particularly in clean energy such as renewables, green hydrogen, and EV infrastructure. He praised the forum as a unique platform uniting global investors, project proponents, policymakers, and academia, highlighting India’s reforms to enhance the business environment.
During the event, over 300 participants from financial institutions, multilateral development banks, venture capital funds, and government agencies engaged under the Sustainable Infrastructure and Climate Tech tracks. Four Indian companies were shortlisted to pitch concepts on energy transition and waste management to global investors. In contrast, ten Indian startups presented innovative ideas for climate change mitigation. The forum is a medium for US$ 23 billion in investment opportunities for sustainable infrastructure projects in the Indo-Pacific. Additionally, the launch of the IPEF Catalytic Capital Fund aims to expand clean economy infrastructure projects in emerging economies, supported by founding members including Australia, Japan, Korea, and the United States.
