Budget 2023 clearly underlines India’s Green Budget towards Green Growth. India’s National determined contribution (NDC) to fight climate changes is heading towards a long term goal of net zero emission by 2070. The Government's focus on energy transition is expected to fuel “green growth” in the coming years. Green growth is listed among the four opportunities of transformative India by 2047-the country's 100th year of independence. To achieve this goal,many programs are lined up; a few amongst them are green fuel, green energy, green mobility, green farming, green building, and green equipment for policies and energies across the economic sector.

India is facing the criticality of depleting natural resources, limited supply of water, mineral, and fossil fuels by surpassing China as the most populated country hence the government has accelerated the pace of green growth towards green transition. Environment Performance Index (EPI) of 2022 has revealed India’s 169th position out of 180 countries.Green growth assumes greater significance due to 5.4% loss in GDP, 167 billion labor hours of extreme heat waves in 2021 and 314 days of extreme weather events in 2022.

In a bid towards Net Zero by 2070, India released a low carbon strategy by introducing LiFE concept (Lifestyle for Environment) to promote consumption. Introduction of Sovereign green Bonds as a new avenue in raising finance funds for green initiatives is also one of the steps towards Net Zero.

Paving the green way, the government has adopted Green Growth as one of the key priorities(Saptarishi) to lead India in its “Amrit Kaal”.
