iFOREST’s Enabling and Supporting Transition programme tackles the interconnected challenges of phasing down fossil fuels, scaling clean energy, and decarbonising industries. Our aim is to ensure India’s transition is equitable, regionally balanced, and aligned with climate and development goals.
We work with fossil fuel–dependent regions, sectors, and communities to diversify economies, repurpose land and assets, and build a green jobs ecosystem. This includes repurposing retired power plants and closed mines, supporting MSMEs in the clean energy and EV ecosystem, and designing cluster-level transition plans. With governments, companies, and financial institutions, we develop just transition policies, investment frameworks, and financing tools that safeguard energy security while enabling long-term transformation.
In parallel, we promote renewable energy deployment in low-RE states, advancing land-neutral options such as floating solar, agri-PV, and rooftop systems, and repurposing mining and industrial wastelands. We strengthen state and national policies, and drive renewable uptake in commercial and industrial sectors, especially MSMEs.
We also support industrial decarbonisation by transitioning MSMEs to clean boilers and brick technologies, and advancing Green Urea and Green Steel through plant-level modelling, policy reform, and procurement frameworks.
Together, these interventions enable a just, inclusive, and climate-resilient low-carbon economy.
