Abstract

India’s journey to meet climate-related goals, risks being hampered by its growing energy needs and socio-political sensitivities around the early retirement of coal power plants.
Capital market-based solutions could help India meet targets and repurpose technically feasible coal power plants into renewables while ensuring a just transition.
Using sustainability-linked green bonds (SLGBs) using lower costs of borrowing could help motivate companies toward repurposing coal plants.
