Abstract
The growing concern over climate change, environmental degradation, depletion of natural resources, and rising carbon emissions has made sustainable development a major global priority. In this reference, green finance has emerged as an important mechanism for directing financial resources toward environmentally responsible projects and investments. It includes financial instruments, policies, and investment strategies that support renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, waste management, pollution control, and other eco-friendly activities. India, as one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, faces the dual challenge of sustaining economic growth while protecting the environment. Rapid industrialization, urbanization, and population growth have placed increasing pressure on natural resources and ecological systems. Therefore, green finance has become an essential policy tool for supporting sustainable economic transformation in the country. Government agencies, public and private sector banks, financial institutions, and international organizations have introduced several initiatives to promote green investments and responsible business practices. The present study examines the role of green finance in promoting sustainable development in India. It discusses the concept, objectives, instruments, and significance of green finance and evaluates its contribution to environmental protection, economic growth, and social welfare. The study is descriptive in nature and is based on secondary data collected from government reports, research articles, financial institution reports, international publications, and policy documents. The findings indicate that green finance supports sustainable development by encouraging investment in environmentally friendly projects and strengthening long-term economic resilience. However, policy gaps, limited awareness, financial constraints, technological barriers, and investment risks continue to restrict its wider application.
