Discussion Paper: Financing Industrial Decarbonization - Challenges and Solutions for India’s Iron and Steel Sector
The industrial sector, a vital driver of economic growth in emerging economies, accounts for a significant portion of carbon emissions, with India’s industrial activity contributing nearly 30% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving global climate goals, including India’s net-zero target by 2070, necessitates substantial investment in low-carbon technologies and infrastructure. However, challenges such as complex production processes, existing investments in carbon-intensive assets, and competitive markets hinder decarbonization efforts. CPI’s research underscores the need for increased global finance and proposes policy interventions to promote climate-aligned investment, particularly in high-emission sectors like iron and steel.

Developing a Legal and Regulatory Framework for Low Carbon Transition of Indian economy on the path to Net Zero
While India has ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and net-zero targets, it lacks a legal framework to achieve economy-wide net-zero targets. Despite policies like the National Action Plan for Climate Change, India lacks formal climate legislation. Recent sectoral laws promote renewable energy but lack a comprehensive focus on emission reduction. To address this, a net-zero bill has been introduced in the Indian parliament. A potential solution involves consolidating existing laws under a comprehensive Climate/Environment Act and redefining institutions to align with low-carbon objectives.
