# India faces $35 billion annual renewable financing gap: Knight Frank 2026-08-12T06:58:06+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet India could face an annual renewable energy financing gap of nearly $35 billion as it races to achieve a 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity target by 2030, according to a Knight Frank India report released Tuesday. The country’s non-fossil fuel capacity has risen fivefold to 300 GW as of July 2026, but it needs to add roughly 200 GW in four years, requiring annual investments of $48-54 billion against the current $13-18 billion. Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) could help developers monetise operational assets and recycle capital into new projects. However, less than 2 per cent of India’s operational renewable capacity has been monetised through InvITs. Knight Frank estimates that utility-scale solar assets worth about Rs 3.1 lakh crore could be eligible for InvIT structures, offering yields of 10-10.5 per cent to institutional investors. ## Coverage - energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: financing gap, India, InvITs, Knight Frank, renewable energy, solar Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/india-faces-35-billion-annual-renewable-financing-gap-knight-frank/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
