Advancing Heat Pump Adoption in India

Advancing Heat Pump Adoption in India: Potential, Opportunities & Challenges is a comprehensive report by iFOREST that explores the role of heat pumps in decarbonising India’s heating sector across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

The report examines how heat pumps can reduce dependence on fossil fuels such as diesel, LPG, and coal by providing an energy-efficient alternative for water and process heating. It highlights the technology’s potential to lower energy costs, improve efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions as India transitions towards a cleaner electricity grid.

The study also assesses the market potential for heat pumps in sectors such as buildings, hotels, hospitals, and MSMEs, while identifying key policy, financial, technical, and market barriers to large-scale adoption. In addition, it presents recommendations and a policy roadmap to accelerate deployment and support India’s clean energy transition.
