Outlook
India’s sunrise sectors are expected to become major drivers of economic growth, sustainability, and industrial development in the coming years. The government is strongly promoting sectors linked to clean energy, decarbonization, and advanced manufacturing through policy support and investment initiatives.
One of the key focus areas is Green Hydrogen, where the National Green Hydrogen Mission has an outlay of nearly Rs.19,744 crore with a target of producing 5 MMTPA of green hydrogen by 2030.
The Bio Fuels and Alternative Fuels sector is also gaining importance as India focuses on reducing dependence on fossil fuel imports. The government has introduced a roadmap for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blending in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) from 2027 onwards, along with a target of 5% biodiesel blending by 2030. In addition, India’s energy transition plans include the SATAT initiative, which targets the establishment of around 5,000 compressed biogas (CBG) plants across the country.
India is also witnessing rapid growth in the Steel, Ferro-Alloy, and Renewable Energy sectors. The country is targeting nearly 300 MT of steelmaking capacity by 2030 while simultaneously expanding renewable energy infrastructure.
India has already achieved nearly 50% installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources ahead of its 2030 target. Going forward, the country aims to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, and current installed non-fossil capacity has already crossed approximately 283 GW.
Another major sunrise segment is Defence and Nuclear Energy. India is developing two Defence Industrial Corridors in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu to strengthen domestic defence manufacturing capabilities and reduce import dependence. At the same time, the country is targeting 100 GW nuclear power capacity by 2047, which is expected to play a significant role in meeting future energy demand while supporting low-carbon electricity generation.
Together, these sunrise sectors are expected to attract significant investments, create employment opportunities, and contribute to India’s long-term economic and environmental goals.
