SMEs, EV start-ups, and battery makers will be the biggest winners of the Rs 8,819.8 billion allocated in the 2023 federal budget for climate-related actions. This amount represents 2.0% of total spending in FY2024 compared to 0.9% in FY2023.
Growth engines in these sectors are poised for a significant boost in green adoption as these provisions are revenue expenditures tied together through subsidies.

“The pumped storage policy will enable an estimated 22 GW of projects by FY2031, of which about 7 GW of infrastructure will be built by private actors. Overall, this is a step in the right direction for India’s clean energy transition. It’s a small step, it’s progress,” argues the CRISIL analyst.
