India's net-zero target could bring $22.7 trillion investment opportunity

India's goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070 could create a $22.7 trillion investment opportunity in sectors such as renewable energy, power grids, battery storage, green hydrogen, and clean technology. According to a report by Australian economist Nikki Hatzli, this transition could open up vast opportunities for global capital.

Notably, the report estimates that there may be a requirement or gap of $6.5 trillion to achieve this goal. The report states that international capital will be required to bridge this financial gap.

India's target is a crucial part of efforts to reduce environmental emissions, which has the potential to bring large-scale changes across various industries and technologies. These investment opportunities will primarily focus on sectors related to energy production and storage.
