India’s infrastructure story is no longer just about highways and railways — it’s about solar parks, EV corridors, defence corridors, and indigenous manufacturing hubs. In 2025, as the nation’s infrastructure spending crosses a whopping $125 billion, two sectors stand out as big winners: Green Energy and Defence.
These sectors are not only receiving focused capital and policy support but are also critical to India’s ambition of becoming self-reliant, energy secure, and globally competitive. Let’s break down how this twin-engine push is unfolding — and what it means for India’s economic future.
India’s Green Energy Push: Clean, Scalable, and Strategic
India has set bold targets: 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, net-zero emissions by 2070, and energy independence by 2047. The green energy infrastructure being built today is laying the foundation for these ambitions.
What’s Being Built:
Solar Parks and Ultra-Mega Solar Projects in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh
Wind Energy Zones in Tamil Nadu and coastal Andhra
Green Hydrogen Hubs with electrolyzer manufacturing and export potential
Grid Infrastructure for clean energy evacuation and battery storage systems
EV Charging Networks to support the transition to electric mobility
The government has earmarked over Rs 35,000 crore for green energy alone in FY25, with further funding from global climate alliances and private players.
Why Green Energy Infrastructure Matters
Reduces Import Dependency: Solar and wind cut India’s dependence on imported coal and oil
Job Creation: Green projects are creating skilled jobs in engineering, installation, and maintenance
Boosts Rural Development: Many renewable installations are in remote areas, improving local economies
Export Opportunity: Green hydrogen, solar modules, and battery cells have global demand
Private Participation: Companies like Adani Green, ReNew Power, and Tata Power are investing heavily
The result? India is on track to become one of the top five renewable energy producers in the world by capacity.
Defence Infrastructure: From Imports to Indigenous Might
On the defence front, India is building both physical and technological infrastructure at an accelerated pace. With a Rs 6 lakh crore defence budget and rising geopolitical tensions, self-reliance is the new mantra.
What’s Happening on the Ground:
Defence Industrial Corridors in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are fully operational
New Testing Labs, R&D Centres, and Skill Training Institutes
Infrastructure for DRDO, HAL, BEL, and private defence manufacturers
Border Roads Projects for strategic mobility in Ladakh, Arunachal, and Sikkim
Increased FDI and private partnerships in defence production
The goal? Reduce defence imports and increase exports, while building infrastructure that supports indigenous defence systems across land, air, and sea.
Why Defence Infrastructure Is Strategic
National Security: Better mobility and readiness across borders
Economic Spillover: Tech innovation in defence often leads to civilian applications
Skilled Jobs and Engineering Demand: Defence projects are R&D heavy
Export Boost: India’s defence exports have grown over 10x in the last six years
Make in India Push: Indigenous arms and manufacturing reduce dependency on foreign suppliers
India’s aim is clear — become a global defence exporter and innovation hub, not just an arms importer.
