CLEAN TECHNOLOGY FUND INVESTMENT PLAN FOR INDIA

I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. INTRODUCTION
Government of India has been actively pursuing a range of initiatives to support its policy
objective of promoting environmentally sustainable growth. Several of these are currently at a stage where they need to be supported by investments on the ground. The overall investment quantum is large. Several alternate funding avenues are being considered in this regard.
The initial investments made to support these programs will be critical in catalyzing the respective programs and have significant impact on the segment that the respective programs seek to achieve.
A strategy for financing climate change will also need to be anchored in the National Action Plan on Climate Change and the domestic development strategy. The investments will have to be made, therefore, through a long term and comprehensive Plan for both mitigation as well as adaptation purposes across several sectors. In this Investment Plan, the Government of India proposes to obtain an initial financing from the Clean Technology Fund (CTF) to support a set of projects and initiatives that have been identified for their critical impact on social and economic development with significant co-benefits for climate change. A subsequent phase of the Investment Plan will include substantial investments in lower emission sustainable development initiatives covering various sectors and applications.

2. COUNTRY AND SECTOR CONTEXT
India is at a unique juncture in its development. The Indian economy has been growing at an
accelerated rate over the past several years to achieve increasingly high GDP targets. The
International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections indicate that the strong economic growth of the past decade is likely to continue to hold true and reach 8 percent per annum until 2015. This rapid economic growth generates substantial potential for public and private investments in development.
As outlined in India’s 11th Five Year Plan (2007?2012), the government of India is also aiming to double per capita GDP over 10 years. Such dramatic and rapid income growth for a country as populous as India would require a significant transformation across all sectors of the economy.
India’s current energy consumption level on a per capita basis is low, but is expected to grow substantially in the coming decades. Economic growth, increasing prosperity and urbanization, rise in per capita consumption, and spread of energy access are the factors likely to substantially increase the total demand for energy and for electricity in particular. Improving energy access coupled with increased demand for industrial and commercial applications is leading to significant increase in energy demand. Supply expansion has not kept pace with the increasing demand. Thus there is sustained energy supply-demand imbalance. In the electricity sector, energy deficits are of the order of 9% and peak deficits are of the order of 10%1, which could increase over the long term due to supply side constraints.
