Financial assistance for industrial decarbonisation: India case study

Policy brief

| November 4, 2026

Heavy industry sectors, such as steel, cement and chemicals, are highly energy- and emissions-intensive. Putting these sectors on a path to Net Zero will require substantial new investment. Finance is often cited as a key barrier, particularly in emerging economies, where growth in these sectors is expected to be the greatest. Financial assistance, as set out under the Paris Agreement, is one way that developing countries, such as India, can access the support they require. This includes low cost finance, which is especially important for capital-intensive and risky projects.

Non-CO2 Emission Reduction Pathways for Madhya Pradesh: A Multi-Sectoral Assessment

Policy brief

| October 19, 2026

Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) and other non-CO₂ air pollutants play a significant role in driving near-term climate change and worsening air quality, with direct implications for public health, agriculture, and ecosystems. While carbon dioxide remains the principal focus of long-term climate mitigation efforts, pollutants such as methane, black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons, and tropospheric ozone offer important opportunities for achieving faster climate benefits through targeted emission reductions.

Policy Brief: Building India’s Market for Repurposed EV Batteries

Policy brief

| October 12, 2026

This policy brief argues that India does not need blanket subsidies for repurposed batteries across all applications. Instead, public support should be targeted where a certified battery can deliver reliable service at a competitive lifecycle cost, yet the market cannot finance deployment without temporary intervention—building on the evidence generated by domestic pilots. Existing government programmes can serve as anchor off-takers, governed by uniform standards for safety, performance, monitoring, and end-of-life recycling.
