Clean energy (megawatts and negawatts) and water management present a huge potential opportunity in India. With a large power deficit and a clear government directive to provide power for all, clean energy can help in meeting the demand-supply mismatch, while minimizing the impact on environment and natural resources. Similarly, given the increasing pressure on water resources required to meet the demands of population growth, agricultural output enhancement will be necessary.
Policy initiatives taken on by the government can improve the growth rate of the markets. These include entrepreneurial incentives for setting up clean energy projects (generation based incentives, renewable energy certificates, attractive debt funding), promoting energy efficiency measures in the industry including ease of cheap funding availability, and clear directives for water management and waste management.
