This report captures the latest activities of the NIIF Chair in ESG at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), including research, publications, and events that drive forward conversations on Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) in India.

Given its rapid growth in energy demands, India’s commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2070 is significant. This transition requires an annual investment of $40-$50 billion until 2070, highlighting the necessity for foreign investment, innovation, and energy diversification.

At NIIF, we prioritise ESG integration for sustainable and commercial returns. Through the NIIF Chair in ESG at IIMA, we promote ESG best practices on our platforms and companies.

The NIIF Chair, led by Prof. Amit Garg, enhances our focus on ESG with insightful publications and events, including an analysis of India’s Net Zero 2070 pathways. Our team at NIIF works hand-in-hand with the Chair to advance discussions and actions on climate preservation and sustainable development, inviting all interested parties to join us in this important mission.
