Sumit Kumar

The purpose of issuing green bonds is to raise money for finding answers to the problem of global warming. The most important part is that the money goes to environmentally friendly investments. Central and local governments, banks, or enterprises can all issue them. Sukuk, covered bonds, and other types of green debt can all bear the green bond designation if they meet the Green Bond Principles (GBP) or the Green Loan Principles (GLP). The purpose of this research is to examine the numerous green finance efforts implemented by Indian financial institutions, as well as the potential and problems they present. Aspects of the report that are particularly noteworthy include the advances and prospects for green financing in India. We concluded that Green Bond market is still in its nascent stage in India but due to favorable environmental policies and a push to ESG based thematic investment is fueling the growth of Green Bond Market in India.
