Become a Partner

India is undergoing a transformative shift, where digital innovation, economic expansion, and sustainability are driving its rise as a global powerhouse. With a projected $7.3 trillion economy by 2030, the nation is embracing bold policies and forward-thinking reforms to fuel growth, strengthen industries, and secure its position on the world stage. Public sector enterprises are already leading the charge, injecting 27.71 lakh crore into financial investments in FY24, a 7.35% rise, while a remarkable 49.5% surge in R&D spending signals India’s intent to drive breakthrough innovations that redefine industries.

But India’s ambitions go beyond economic numbers—it is rewriting the future of energy and sustainability. Aiming for 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070, the nation is making green technology the backbone of its growth.

CPSUs are not just investing in clean energy but actively shaping the transition toward a carbon-free future. This fusion of digital transformation and sustainability positions India as a trailblazer in economic resilience, technological leadership, and environmental responsibility. The world is watching—India is building the future.
