The Indian government has issued its first sovereign green ESG bonds—totaling ₹10,000 crore—to fund water recycling, renewable energy, and sustainable transport projects. The bonds, oversubscribed within days, attracted both domestic and international institutional investors. Proceeds are directed toward solar metro systems, wastewater treatment plants, and electric bus fleets in key cities. The bond issuance marks a shift toward market-driven climate finance and reinforces India’s commitment to its COP26 and COP28 sustainability goals.
