Executive Summary
India's green transition will create millions of new jobs - but the workforce isn't ready. Our analysis maps the demand-supply gap across six key sectors: solar, wind, battery storage, green hydrogen, ESG advisory, and carbon markets. We identify the states with highest job creation potential, the skills that matter most, and the policy interventions needed to close the preparation gap before 2030.
