The World Bank has approved the second round of a $1.5 billion loan to help India push its low-carbon energy development.
The funds will help promote a vibrant market for green hydrogen, scale up renewable energy, and stimulate finance for low-carbon energy investments.
In June 2023, the World Bank approved the first $1.5 billion First Low-Carbon Energy Programmatic Development Policy Operation.
It is expected to result in the production of at least 450,000 metric tons of green hydrogen and 1.5 GW of electrolysers per year from fiscal 2025-26 onwards.
