At the recent FT Live panel on Addressing Risk Perceptions and the Cost of Capital, Vivek Agarwal explored the investment landscape for clean energy in India, a market that continues to attract global attention. He spoke about Actis' approach to the sector from a full value chain perspective: starting with critical minerals, through to equipment manufacturing, supply chains, generation, and ultimately delivery of power via the grid. "It's the whole eco-system that you need to consider when you look at investments and how that sits in each particular country. Clean energy, in that sense, is potentially the only sector that intersects between our climate mission, our economic opportunity, and also energy security." He discussed that when assessing opportunities, we consider four key parameters. It is our view that India scores strongly across all four: scale of opportunity, policy and regulatory framework, revenue model and execution. India demonstrates how robust policy, clear frameworks, and execution capacity can align to create what we believe to be one of the most compelling clean energy investment destinations globally. #InfrastructureInvesting #SustainableInfrastructure #ValueCreation
