According to the ‘Investing in the Green Economy 2026’ report by London Stock Exchange Group i.e. LSEG, India will earn $ 110 billion from green revenue in 2025. This has made India one of the fastest growing green economies in Asia, even though its size is relatively small. This report by the London Stock Exchange Group company, which provides financial market data and infrastructure services, said that India’s green revenue grew at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 percent. This is more than the total green revenue growth of Asia (12 percent) and the growth of the global market (10 percent CAGR) in the same period.
Although India is still a small green economy compared to regional leaders like China and Japan, the report shows that the country is making strong positions in certain green sectors. According to LSEG, India accounted for 87 percent of Asia’s green revenues in biogas energy equipment and 75 percent of advanced irrigation systems and devices. These results show that India’s presence in green economy sectors related to agriculture, rural infrastructure, waste-to-energy and decentralized energy systems is growing, even though the country’s total green revenue base is still low in Asia.
Asian companies’ share is 47 percent
Asia has emerged as the world’s largest green-revenue region. The share of Asian companies in global green revenue in 2025 was 47 percent, in which China, Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea were at the forefront. This sector plays an important role in green sectors like energy equipment, transport equipment, waste and pollution control, electric vehicle batteries and railway infrastructure. China remains the largest green economy in Asia, accounting for 41 percent of the region’s green revenues. This is followed by Japan (28 percent), Hong Kong (10 percent), South Korea (6 percent) and Taiwan (5 percent). According to the report, India’s share in Asia’s green revenue was about 4 percent.
Which country invested how much?
The report also states that Asia is the largest destination for clean-energy investment. China invested about $625 billion in renewables, energy storage, nuclear and energy efficiency, while India invested about $100 billion in clean energy, which was 83 percent of its power-sector capital allocation. However, the report also points to the challenge of striking a balance between clean-energy growth and energy security. Asia is still heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels (especially from the Middle East) and is driving global demand for coal. In this, China is at the forefront, followed by India and South-East Asia.
India is growing rapidly
For India, the findings of the report paint a dual picture: the country is still a small player in Asia’s listed green revenue pool, but it is growing faster than most other countries in the region and has gained leadership in certain segments such as biogas energy equipment and advanced irrigation systems. Green revenue has been described in the report as the income received from listed companies that earn from products and services that contribute to the green economy. LSEG said that its green revenue data is till April 2026, while the revenue data is till December 2025.
