About Bharat Climate Forum Platform

India has ambitious targets to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070, meet 50% of its energy needs from non-fossil sources by 2030, and achieve 30% EV sales penetration for new vehicles by 2030. While significant progress has been made towards these goals, India still faces major challenges in reducing dependence on imported components. Strengthening domestic cleantech manufacturing therefore assumes critical importance in reducing vulnerability to external shocks, driving socioeconomic development, and establishing India as a green technology export hub, among other areas.

The Bharat Cleantech Manufacturing Platform aims to build on the success of the Forum by unifying key stakeholders across policy, industry, finance, and research sectors, positioning India as a global leader in cleantech manufacturing and fostering self-reliance as the cornerstone of its journey towards a Net-Zero and Viksit Bharat. The Platform’s immediate goals will focus on developing a detailed strategy and action plan to accelerate indigenization of manufacturing capacity, including identifying specific interventions under key pillars relevant to selected focus sectors, which would have the highest impact on driving indigenization.

Since the Forum, the Government of India has also announced National Manufacturing Mission focused on cleantech in India at the Union Budget 2025, which furthers the ambition and goals of the Bharat Cleantech Manufacturing Platform.
