This article reports on a panel at the ET India Net Zero Forum’26, where industry leaders discussed how India’s net-zero transition will require a major reorientation of capital toward long-duration, climate-aligned infrastructure. It features a quote from Sangeeth Selvaraju<\/a>, Policy Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute, who says foreign capital will remain important—particularly for equity financing—but India’s transition will continue to rely heavily on domestic capital, with global asset owners needing to see competitive hard-currency returns, stronger governance and clearer transition pathways before investing at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
