The roundtable seeks to explore how India can accelerate the deployment of critical industrial decarbonisation technologies, particularly those in the TRL 5–9 range (CCUS, GH2 DRI EAF, Waste heat recovery and Industrial electrification) by addressing financing gap and identifying practical solutions to mitigate barriers.
Continuing the Mumbai Climate Week dialogue, this session will focus on translating coastal climate risks into bankable blue finance pipelines through a sovereign lens, with emphasis on national level policy, fiscal frameworks, and public finance strategies. It will explore how governments can enable subnational action through regulatory alignment, sovereign backed instruments, and support for city level project preparation and access to capital. The discussion will highlight the role of blended finance, sovereign guarantees, and public financial institutions in crowding in private capital and unlocking scalable coastal resilience solutions.
