India’s Green Transition: Advancing Sustainable Development

Green growth has emerged as a crucial strategy for sustainable development, ensuring economic progress while minimizing environmental degradation. India, one of the fastest-growing economies, faces the challenge of balancing rapid industrialization with ecological sustainability. This paper explores India's green growth strategy, its key components, challenges, and future prospects, supplemented with data, case studies, and graphical analysis. The study highlights the role of renewable energy expansion, sustainable agriculture, circular economy models, and green transportation in reducing carbon footprints while fostering economic resilience. Additionally, it examines government policies, industry contributions, and the potential for green finance in accelerating India's transition to a low-carbon economy. By addressing both opportunities and barriers, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of India's green growth initiatives and their long-term implications for sustainable development.
