India is no longer just an emerging economy. It is now one of Asia's fastest-growing green economies — and a landmark LSEG report just proved it with numbers that are hard to ignore. But the real shock is not where India stands today. It is where India is heading next.
India's Green Revenue Just Hit $110 Billion
India generated US$110 billion in green revenue, marking a major shift in its economy. Over the last five years, the country recorded a 20% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) — one of the fastest in Asia. India did not struggle into this number. It built toward it — sector by sector, investment by investment. And the 20% CAGR is not the ceiling. It is just the starting point. But where exactly is all this green money going?

83% of India's Power Money Now Goes Green
India invested US$100 billion in clean energy, showing just how fast the country's energy transition is moving. Around 83% of all power sector investments now go into clean energy. Think about that for a moment. Out of every ₹100 India puts into its power sector — ₹83 now goes into clean energy. No major Asian economy has made such a bold internal shift.
And this is not a government promise. This is already happening. But the story goes deeper than just money. India is quietly becoming a major hub for green technology manufacturing, and the world is starting to take notice.
India Dominates Niche Green Tech — An Uncovered Angle
India now leads Asia's green revenues in two highly specialised manufacturing sectors — areas where even China has not built dominance. The LSEG report shows these niches specifically, yet this is mostly uncovered by different platforms.
Global investors have already noticed. Supply chains are quietly shifting. And India is sitting right at the centre of it all. But this is just one part of India's green success story. The bigger picture is even more impressive.
Asia Drives the World's Green Economy Now
Asia has become the world's biggest green economy, generating 47% of global green revenues. Over the past five years, the region has recorded a strong 12% annual growth rate, beating the global average of 10%. India is not riding Asia's green wave. It is helping create it. With a growth rate double the global average, India is pulling Asia's green numbers higher every year. And just when you think the story peaks here — the global picture makes it even more stronger.
The Green Economy Is Now the World's Third Largest Industry
The global green economy has become too big to ignore. If it were a separate industry, its market value would be around US$10 trillion. That would make it the world's third-largest sector, behind technology and industrials, and ahead of healthcare.

According to Jaakko Kooroshy, Global Head of Sustainable Investment Research at LSEG, the green transition is no longer only about cutting carbon emissions. It is now also about energy security, economic growth, and global competition.
India is not just keeping pace with this change. It is moving faster than many expected. With a 20% green revenue growth rate, US$100 billion in clean energy investments, and a growing presence in green technology, India is emerging as Asia's green powerhouse. The only question now is — how far can India go by 2030?
