Assessing Green Industrial Policy: The India experience

The report evaluates India's approach to green industrial policy (GIP) within its wind and solar energy sectors. It finds that while policies have successfully advanced 'green' objectives—such as energy security, health improvements, and greenhouse gas emission abatement—the 'industrial' objective of creating globally competitive domestic firms has been less successful.

• India's policies have been more effective at achieving environmental and social outcomes than at fostering industrial growth in the renewable energy sector.
• The primary positive impacts of India's renewable energy policies are observed in the areas of energy access, public health, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
• The industrial policy component of India's strategy has performed poorly relative to the green components, suggesting a need for better integration of the two to realize the full benefits of a manufacturing sector alongside environmental protection.
