India’s journey to net zero will determine not only its own development trajectory but also the global outcome of the climate transition. As one of the world’s fastest-growing economies and largest emitters, India faces the dual challenge of decarbonising while ensuring equitable growth.

ARE’s latest research, India’s Path to Net Zero, provides a comprehensive analysis of how the country’s key industrial sectors — Power Utilities, Steel, and Cement — are aligning with national and corporate net-zero goals.

The presentation tracks policy drivers, market dynamics, and emerging technologies shaping India’s energy transition, and maps how leading companies are setting and implementing decarbonisation targets. The study is based on government announcements and on what companies have said in their filings to the Securities and Exchange Board of India.

While the study highlights encouraging momentum across industries, it also identifies critical areas where stronger commitments, clearer timelines, and coordinated policy support are needed to stay on course for a 2070 net-zero future.
