Data from Mission Possible Partnership’s Global Project Tracker identifies 65 projects spanning 11 Indian states across green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuel, methanol and low-carbon aluminium sectors, strengthening their position in the emerging global “industrial sunbelt”
Editor’s Synopsis:
- India now hosts the world’s third-largest clean industrial project pipeline by project count, behind only China and the United States
- India’s clean-industry pipeline has an estimated investment potential of $433 billion, including $323.5 billion in renewable energy and $109.6 billion in industrial assets
- Green ammonia accounts for the largest share of India’s pipeline, with 49 projects identified in the tracker.
- Global Project Tracker includes companies such as AM Green, ACME, Avaada, NTPC, Indian Oil, ReNew, Sembcorp, Welspun and Vedanta
- 19 projects globally reached final investment decision in six months - more than double the previous year as countries move to strengthen industrial resilience, reduce exposure to fossil-fuel volatility and secure future clean-manufacturing supply chains
New Delhi, 8th June 2026 — India is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s most important clean industry markets, with its pipeline of low-carbon industrial projects growing by 30% over in a six-month period ] as countries race to build more resilient energy and manufacturing systems amid rising geopolitical and supply-chain uncertainty.
Mission Possible Partnership’s latest Global Project Tracker finds that India now hosts the world’s third-largest clean industrial project pipeline by project count, behind only China and the United States. The pipeline spans 65 projects across four sectors and 11 states, representing an estimated $433.07 billion investment opportunity in clean fuels, chemicals and low-carbon manufacturing.
India’s expanding clean-industry pipeline reflects growing alignment between its industrial ambitions and energy transition goals, supported by policy initiatives around green hydrogen, renewable energy, manufacturing and energy security. As countries look to diversify supply chains and reduce exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets, India is increasingly positioning itself as a competitive destination for next-generation industrial production powered by low-cost renewable energy.
The Tracker maps projects across green ammonia, green methanol, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and low-carbon aluminium in 11 states, including Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat,Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Green ammonia dominates the pipeline with 49 projects, while rising SAF activity signals growing interest in cleaner aviation fuels and potential export opportunities.
Projects tracked include AM Green’s Kakinada developments, ACME’s green ammonia project in Odisha, Indian Oil’s SAF initiatives, NTPC’s Pudimadaka proposals, and Vedanta’s low-carbon aluminium operations in Odisha and Chhattisgarh. Findings also indicate growing collaboration between Indian and global companies as new clean industrial value chains take shape.
Arnava Sinha, ACME’s Executive Vice President of Green Hydrogen and Ammonia, said:
"India’s green hydrogen story is moving decisively from ambition to delivery, and ACME is proud to be at the forefront. As the winning bidder in several of SECI’s green ammonia auctions, we have helped establish a market underpinned by assured offtake, transparent price discovery and globally competitive tariffs. With low-cost renewable energy, strong policy direction and deepening project experience positions, India is well-positioned to become a global hub for green ammonia and clean fuels. Our task now is to convert this momentum into commissioned plants and reliable supply at scale, with support from initiatives like the ITA."
Clean industrial investment is accelerating globally, as governments and companies seek more resilient and competitive industrial systems. Mission Possible Partnership’s analysis found that the pace at which projects reach final investment decision has more than doubled over the past year, the fastest pace on record, with China currently leading deployment. The report also highlights the rise of a new “industrial sunbelt” of renewable energy-rich economies including India, that could gain a long-term industrial advantage as clean manufacturing scales globally. Clean industry plants are securing finance at the fastest pace on record.
“Clean industry is moving from promise to pace, with the number of projects reaching final investment decision more than doubling over the past year,” said Faustine Delasalle, CEO of Mission Possible Partnership and Executive Director of the Industrial Transition Accelerator.
“In an increasingly fragmented and unstable environment, fossil fuel dependence has shown time and time again to mean exposure to price shocks, supply disruption and economic crises, while continuing to fuel the climate crisis and its compounding impacts. Countries that build cleaner industrial systems can gain greater control over the essentials of their economies: energy, food, materials, and industrial goods that underpin every dimension of people’s lives,” she added.
Yash Kashyap, India Lead at the Industrial Transition Accelerator, said: “India is building one of the world’s most significant early-stage clean-industry pipelines, with activity now visible across multiple sectors and states. The opportunity is to move from announcements to execution by accelerating policy support, financing and market demand. If India can convert its renewable energy advantage into industrial scale, it has the potential to become an important global hub for clean manufacturing, fuels and exports over the coming decade.”
As clean industrial investment accelerates globally, the Global Project Tracker highlights how India is steadily laying the foundations for a broader low-carbon industrial economy that could support future manufacturing growth, strengthen export competitiveness and attract long-term investment across energy-intensive sectors.

About Mission Possible Partnership
Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) is an independent non-profit organisation advancing global clean industry transformation. Since 2019, we have been working with some of the most energy-intensive industries – aluminium, aviation, cement, chemicals, shipping and steel – to cut their global GHG emissions. We mobilise business, finance, government and civil society leaders to speed up the shift to clean materials, chemicals and fuels. Having charted sectoral pathways to net-zero, we continue to forge new territory, lifting the barriers to enable a critical mass of clean industrial projects to break ground by 2030. Mission Possible Partnership has people and partners on the ground in North America, Brazil, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, India and Asia Pacific.
About the ITA
The Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA) is a global multistakeholder initiative, managed by Mission Possible Partnership (MPP), to fast-track decarbonisation in energy-intensive industry and transport sectors.
Launched in December 2023 at the COP28 World Climate Action Summit by the UAE COP28 Presidency, UN Climate Change, and Bloomberg Philanthropies, the ITA brings together global leaders from across industry, energy, financial institutions, and governments to overcome challenges and unlock investment at scale to speed up the use of decarbonisation solutions across the following sectors: aluminium, aviation, cement, chemicals, shipping and steel.
Drawing on Mission Possible Partnership’s extensive industry networks and deep expertise, the ITA works on the ground to unlock project finance and elevates learnings on the global stage.
The ITA is led by Co-Chairs H.E. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, Simon Stiell, and Michael R. Bloomberg, supported by the wider ITA Leadership Council.
