Roadmap for an Equitable Green Economic Diversification in Jharkhand

The briefing outlines a phased strategy for Jharkhand to transition from a mining-dependent economy to a green industrial base. It identifies four high-potential sectors—Clean Power, Green Molecules, Sustainable Mobility, and Green Equipment Manufacturing—which could generate USD 1.43 billion in annual state tax revenue. The transition requires a total cumulative investment of USD 41.4 billion, implemented across three phases from 2026 to 2070.

• Jharkhand requires a total cumulative investment of USD 41.4 billion (INR 351,900 crore) to establish new green industries. This is broken down by sector: Green Molecules Production requires USD 21.8 billion (INR 185,300 crore) for bioethanol, compressed biogas, and green hydrogen/ammonia; Sustainable Mobility and Components requires USD 14.3 billion (INR 121,550 crore) for electric and hydrogen-based vehicles; and Green Equipment Manufacturing requires USD 5.3 billion (INR 45,050 crore) for solar PV and lithium-ion battery hubs.
• The transition to green sectors is expected to provide a revenue substitute for declining mining income, with the potential to generate approximately USD 1.43 billion in annual state tax revenue. Additionally, growth in green manufacturing and MSMEs is projected to create a net-positive employment outcome that exceeds job losses in the fossil fuel sector.
• The roadmap proposes a three-stage implementation timeline: an Enabling Phase (2026–2035) focused on infrastructure, reskilling, and transition finance; a Scaling Up phase (2036–2047); and a Viksit Bharat phase (2048–2070).
