Mumbai, Jan 22: Bank of Baroda, India’s International Bank, hosted the Clean Energy Summit 2026 in Mumbai, bringing together key stakeholders from across India’s renewable energy ecosystem to deliberate on the future of sustainable power and green financing and ways to further accelerate progress towards India’s 2030 renewable energy targets. The Summit, themed “Powering India’s Green Growth”, witnessed participation from over 125 delegates, including renewable energy developers, corporates, global and domestic investors, rating agencies, financial institutions and policy experts.
With India steadily advancing toward its long-term climate commitments and energy security goals, the summit served as a timely platform to discuss scalable, bankable and future-ready renewable energy solutions. High-level discussions focused on growth opportunities, innovation, risk management and capital mobilisation in the renewables sector.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Debadatta Chand, Managing Director & CEO, Bank of Baroda said, “India’s clean energy transition represents one of the most significant investment opportunities of this decade. Bank of Baroda is proud to play a catalytic role in this journey by aligning capital with climate responsibility.

Our focus remains on building a resilient green financing ecosystem that supports innovation while maintaining strong risk discipline.”
Shri Lalit Tyagi, Executive Director, Bank of Baroda said, “Renewable Energy is no longer an alternative source of power – it is central to India’s economic and environmental future. As the country advances towards the vision of Viksit Bharat, long-term and stable financing will be the backbone of this transition. Bank of Baroda remains committed to supporting clean energy across solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, hybrid and round-the-clock renewable projects, ensuring that India’s green ambitions translate into bankable and scalable realities.”
