New Delhi: India has cemented its position as an economic titan in the clean-tech arena, raking in a whopping $110 billion in green revenues by 2025. It has emerged as one of Asia’s fastest growing green markets, with a stellar compound annual growth rate of 20 percent in the last five years, according to the London Stock Exchange Group’s latest report, ‘Investing in the Green Economy 2026’.

The global green economy achieved a historic milestone by crossing $10 trillion in total market capitalization for the first time. If classified as a standalone industry, the green sector would now rank as the third-largest on Earth trailing only technology and industrials, while pulling ahead of healthcare. While the United States remains the largest green economy by market value at $6 trillion (holding 57 percent of the global total), it accounted for 27 percent of global green revenues, followed closely by China at 19 percent and Japan at 13 percent.

Asia accounted for a dominant 47 percent of global green revenues in 2025, outpacing the rest of the world with a five-year growth rate of 12 percent, compared to the global average of 10 percent. India is the second-largest Asian destination for clean energy investments after China, attracting $100 billion in funding. Remarkably, the country funneled 83 percent of its entire power sector capital allocation directly into clean energy projects.

What sets India apart in this regional surge is its dominance in highly specialized green technology segments. The LSEG report highlights that India surprisingly accounts for a staggering 87 percent of Asia’s green revenues generated from biogas energy equipment. Furthermore, the country commands 75 percent of the region’s market revenues for advanced agricultural irrigation systems and devices.

This corporate green momentum has been heavily backed by financial markets, as global green bond issuances hit a historic high of $605 billion in 2025, a 5.7 percent year-on-year increase. The bulk of this financial growth came from the Asia-Pacific region with a staggering 42 percent increase in the green bond volume. This flow of capital is indicative of long-term market trends, as LSEG data shows the green economy has outperformed wider global equities by a huge 133 percent since 2008, with valuations growing at an 18 percent clip a year versus the wider market’s 12 percent.

However, the report concludes with a realistic caveat regarding regional energy security. Despite the monumental inflows of clean technology cash, Asia remains significantly anchored to imported fossil fuels to stabilize its grids. The ongoing push for energy security means that the region continues to be a primary driver of global coal demand and infrastructure investment, led by China, followed closely by India and Southeast Asia.
