Decarbonization

Supporting India's Net-Zero Transition

Electrification is a key pathway to industrial decarbonization. With less than 20% of India’s industrial energy demand currently electrified, the country has a significant opportunity to accelerate the transition to cleaner and more resilient energy systems.

The recent global energy crisis has further reinforced the critical importance of energy security, industrial decarbonization, and electrification. Heat pumps are emerging as one of the most energy-efficient and scalable solutions for industrial and commercial heating, enabling secure, sustainable, and low-carbon operations.

Despite growing interest, adoption remains below its full potential, creating a strong need for collaboration across industry, technology, finance, research, and policy to drive large-scale deployment.

Heat Pump Alliance

In this context, CII has formed a dedicated Heat Pump Alliance to bring together key stakeholders across the ecosystem through a structured and collaborative approach.

OBJECTIVES

Accelerate adoption of heat pumps as a key pathway for thermal electrification

Identify and promote underexplored applications of heat pumps across sectors

Facilitate introduction and adoption of next-generation high-temperature heat pumps

Support research and development of a robust domestic heat pump ecosystem

Strengthen domestic manufacturing, innovation, product development and local value chains

Facilitate policy and regulatory dialogue for financing mechanisms
