India’s aggressive push toward renewable energy and clean technology is fueling a new wave of green industrial land acquisition, particularly in solar and clean-tech zones designed to accommodate the needs of environmentally sustainable industries. Backed by national initiatives like the National Solar Mission, Green Energy Corridor, and PLI schemes for solar modules, green hydrogen, and advanced energy storage, both public and private entities are actively developing land dedicated to clean energy manufacturing, R&D, and assembly.
Regions such as Pavagada (Karnataka), Dholera (Gujarat), Rewa (Madhya Pradesh), and Kurnool (Andhra Pradesh)—already home to some of the country’s largest solar parks—are expanding their footprints to include solar PV manufacturing clusters, green hydrogen units, battery recycling centers, and clean-tech innovation parks. These zones come with pre-installed infrastructure such as high-capacity transmission lines, water access, and logistics corridors, offering an ideal foundation for investors and developers focused on ESG-aligned industrial projects.
Institutional investors and clean-tech companies are increasingly targeting these green zones as part of a long-term sustainability and impact investment strategy. The availability of zoned land, fiscal incentives, and fast-track environmental clearances makes these regions highly attractive for companies aligning with India’s decarbonization goals. As the clean-tech transition gains momentum, industrial land in these dedicated green zones is emerging as a resilient and forward-looking asset class, combining profitability with purpose, and reinforcing India’s ambition to become a global leader in renewable energy and sustainable industrial development.
