India moves to define green factory standards as global sustainability pressures mount

Wednesday, 22 April 2026, 06:33 · 1 min read

India is working to establish its own framework for certifying and standardising green manufacturing, as the absence of formal recognition risks leaving domestic factories undervalued in global supply chains despite strong performance. Indian facilities such as an EV battery component plant in Pune (a major industrial city in Maharashtra) already generate 100% of their energy needs through rooftop solar, and the Panipat textile cluster in Haryana — known as India's recycling capital — is adopting renewables as part of a low-carbon shift. With capital markets increasingly ESG-sensitive and international supply chains demanding verified sustainability credentials, analysts warn that without a credible domestic certification architecture, Indian manufacturers may lose competitiveness even when their environmental outcomes match global peers.
