Developing clean industry across the region

India is benefiting from the ITA’s ability to mobilise business, finance, government and civil society leaders to speed up the shift to clean materials, chemicals and fuels.

The Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA) is a global multi-stakeholder platform, managed by Mission Possible Partnership, to fast-track decarbonisation in energy-intensive industry and transport sectors. The ITA works in partnership with key players on-the-ground in India.

Unlocking India’s clean industrialisation opportunity

India’s clean industrial pipeline is the joint third largest globally, representing an opportunity to emerge as a global leader in clean industry

In November 2025, the ITA, launched its India Project Support Programme which will help support a first wave of India’s clean industrial projects to final investment decision (FID). As part of its initial analysis, more than 65 potential projects have been mapped across sectors such as aluminium, steel, cement, chemicals (ammonia and methanol), and aviation to identify those with the potential to reach FID and evaluate the barriers holding back progress.

India’s industrial transition is central to both its growth objectives and the wider global decarbonisation effort. With one of the largest project pipelines worldwide, the challenge is no longer vision – it is execution.

The India Project Support Programme will focus on unlocking demand, de-risking finance, and fast-tracking projects that can define India’s leadership in clean manufacturing.

India’s commitment to build clean now would not only benefit the country domestically but also assist global momentum.

The flagship project demonstrates a pathway for building green ammonia facilities, with its repurposed brownfield site, access to round-the-clock green power and a lower cost of capital because of its location in India. It also shows the importance of thinking about the entire value chain when looking at the viability of clean industry projects – not just end customers but suppliers as well.

In this month’s issue of Signal we comment on the EU Industrial Accelerator Act, we spotlight the clean industry opportunity that is rising in 2026, and we welcome GH2 India and the International Solar Alliance as partners in the ITA India programme.
