Energising the Future

Invest in India's growing Energy Theme

India, the world's 3rd largest energy market, is poised for explosive growth, with its energy needs expected to double by 2050.

This transformation will see India shift from an energy importer to a potential exporter, particularly in the renewable energy sector. This presents a significant and long-term investment opportunity for those seeking to capitalize on India's energy boom.

Why Invest in Energy as a theme?

India's Economic Growth Fuels Energy Demand

Energy consumption is closely tied to economic growth. As India rises to become the world's third largest economy, its energy consumption is poised for significant growth. This rising demand creates robust investment opportunities across various energy segments.

Leading the Green Energy Charge

India supports global green energy goals, actively influencing international climate policies. Initiatives like the International Solar Alliance and International Bioenergy Alliance showcase its commitment to a sustainable future.

Capitalizing on the "China+1" Strategy

The global shift towards cleaner energy sources presents immense opportunities. As the solar and hydrogen value chains currently dominated by China diversify, India's competitive edge and potential as a "China+1" manufacturing hub make it an attractive investment destination.

A Unique Renewable Advantage

India's diverse renewable energy mix offers a distinct advantage. Solar and wind power peaks differ, creating natural storage capacity. Combined with readily available hydro power, this forms a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional batteries.
