India's $89 billion clean industry pipeline struggles to attract financing, report says
India's clean industrial projects pipeline worth $89 billion is facing financing bottlenecks as only one project has reached a final investment decision in the past six months, a report by a clean industry alliance showed.
The South Asian nation has 41 clean industry projects spanning green ammonia, hydrogen production and sustainable aviation fuels, yet faces challenges in converting announcements into operational facilities, the report by
Mission Possible Partnership
and
Industrial Transition Accelerator
said.
The alliance is focused on advancing decarbonisation in high-emission sectors.

India's clean industry projects have secured $13 billion in committed investment, far below China's $61 billion and the United States' $54 billion, according to the report.
The slow development of the market for clean commodities at the right price point was a major bottleneck for investments in India, said Faustine Delasalle, CEO of MPP.

"The higher costs of capital is an issue stifling investment across emerging and developing economies. We need to leverage the growing appetite from development and private finance institutions for clean industry developments," Delasalle said.
The report also highlights a global pipeline of about $1.6 trillion in projects that have been announced but not financed, with 692 of 826 commercial-scale clean industrial projects across 69 countries still awaiting financing.
"Less than 15 projects are currently reaching (a) final investment decision every year, delaying the climate, economic and social benefits associated with clean industrial developments," the report said, adding that policy uncertainty is also hampering progress.

Video of India's Gen Z AI founders building robotics and voice assistants in a locked Hacker House goes viral
Tucked inside the bustling tech neighbourhood of HSR Layout in Bengaluru, a group of teenage coders and creators is quietly redefining what it means to be a startup founder. A viral video shared by Canadian podcaster and entrepreneur Caleb Friesen has offered a rare peek inside a 'hacker house,' a collaborative living space where India's next-gen builders are experimenting with AI, robotics, and hardware tech in their rawest form. With no PR stunts or media spotlight, just code, grit, and ambition, the place has sparked comparisons to the early days of Silicon Valley. Gen Z's Hacker House: Where code meets chaos and innovation As Caleb approaches the unassuming home, he's unsure he's even at the right address. That is, until he sees a poster of Steve Jobs on the front door and knows he's in for something techy. As he entered the Hacker house, he was greeted by 18-year-old Suhas Sumukh. Suhas runs the Bengaluru chapter of Localhost, the startup community behind the hacker house, and guides Caleb through the sprawling, semi-chaotic mansion where creativity fills every corner. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Undo Suhas first introduces Om, who's busy creating quirky AI tools, then Surya, who is building 'WhisperWave,' an AI-powered air noise cancellation system. Harish, just 16 and the youngest member of the house, is locked into his dual vertical monitors, working on an assistive robot to make hardware prototyping more accessible. Despite his age, Harish's intensity and focus stood out. Elsewhere, Chandan is building 'Podcast Circles,' a tool aimed at enhancing group conversations with the help of AI. Two more residents are refining payment models for AI-based startups, while another is developing a smart AI agent tailored for real estate dealers. No hype, just hustle What truly captured the internet's attention wasn't fancy demos or viral pitch decks. It was the quiet intensity. One developer was so focused on his work that he didn't even glance up when Caleb entered. 'No handshake… dude is locked in,' Caleb joked. The moment struck a chord with viewers, many of whom praised the dedication and work ethic. One comment read, 'Super inspiring,' while another described it as 'the definition of dedication.' The Localhost engine powering it all At the centre of this movement is Localhost, an initiative founded by entrepreneur Kei Hayashi. It's more than just a shared home with Wi-Fi. Localhost supports young tech talent between the ages of 16 and 22, offering everything from funding and computing credits to workspace, travel support, and a strong, collaborative community. The focus is on building real solutions fast, not chasing media attention. Buzzing with curiosity and hope Since the video crossed 1.4 million views, social media has been buzzing with excitement. 'Where exactly is this?' one user asked. 'HSR Layout,' Caleb responded. Others quickly chimed in, asking when similar hacker houses would come to cities like Mumbai, Delhi, or Hyderabad. While a few sceptics voiced doubts, the overwhelming sentiment was admiration and curiosity. If the next big wave of Indian innovation is already taking shape, chances are it's being crafted late into the night in a house full of ambition, code, and snacks, with a giant Steve Jobs poster quietly watching over it all.

Andhra Pradesh drive: Govt schemes for tribals; health, housing, pensions explained
NUZVID: Mandal Parishad Development Officer (MPDO) Chenna Raghavendranath said that people should avail themselves of all the govt schemes and programmes. He mentioned that state and central govts were implementing several welfare programmes, particularly for the upliftment of the tribals and socially backward classes. A village-level awareness programme was held as part of the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) at Ongili Thanda on Wednesday. Speaking on the occasion, Raghavendranath stated that the objective of this programme was to raise awareness about govt welfare schemes in tribal areas and deliver necessary services directly to the people. 'Services such as health checkups, education opportunities, healthcare, nutrition support, pension eligibility verifications, and information on newly introduced govt schemes will be provided by the govt. This programme is especially focused on the welfare of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) through the involvement of various departments,' said Raghavendranath. He mentioned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, and housing minister Parthasaradhi were very keen on ensuring that the administration reached out to the PVTGs to extend the benefits of the govt schemes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo He explained that Dharti Aaba Abhiyan is a special national campaign launched by the Centre for the holistic development of tribal villages. It is named in honour of Birsa Munda, a revered tribal freedom fighter and reformer. 'The scheme ensures saturation of govt schemes in tribal villages. It will improve access to healthcare, education, employment, pensions, housing, and other essential services. It will also bring remote and backward tribal areas into the path of sustainable development,' said Raghavendranath. He stated that they would verify whether the schemes, including PM Awas Yojana for housing, Ayushman Bharat, PM Kisan, Ujjwala Yojana, and MGNREGA, were extended to all the eligible people. A large number of villagers actively participated and availed themselves of services and guidance. Local public representatives, teachers, ASHA workers, anganwadi workers, village elders, women's group members, students, and youth took part enthusiastically in the event. Officials from health, panchayat raj, education, agriculture, irrigation, and other departments delivered services and interacted with the public. Field-level reviews were also conducted to assess the implementation of welfare programmes in the tribal village, and suitable suggestions were offered.
