India has received investment interest of nearly $400 billion in its renewable energy sector during the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit and Expo 2026, according to Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi.

The interest came from domestic and international investors during discussions and a CEO roundtable held at the summit. 

The amount is almost double the estimated $220 billion investment India needs to support its green energy transition by 2030. However, the government is still working out the details of the proposed investments, including the companies involved and the nature of their commitments.

The proposed investments cover several areas, including renewable power generation, energy storage, transmission infrastructure, green hydrogen and domestic manufacturing.

Joshi said India is addressing challenges such as renewable energy curtailment and grid bottlenecks through energy storage systems and the Green Energy Corridor. These measures could help improve the reliability of renewable power and encourage further private investment.

The government is also working to expand domestic solar manufacturing. India’s solar cell manufacturing capacity currently stands at 47 GW and is expected to reach 70 GW by the end of December 2026.

India aims to achieve 500 GW of non fossil fuel capacity by 2030. The government is also planning to add another 300 GW of non fossil fuel capacity between 2030 and 2035 to 2036.

The strong investment interest highlights the growing opportunities in India’s clean energy sector. However, the actual impact will depend on how much of the proposed investment is converted into completed projects.

If a significant portion of these commitments materialises, it could help India expand its renewable energy capacity and move closer to its long term clean energy goals.
