中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网12月13日消息称，美国银行分析师估计，印度明年可能会吸引约100亿美元的低碳能源投资，并指出印度次大陆是低迷的融资市场的亮点。
“如果你真的必须把你的ESG故事讲好，如果你对能源感兴趣，那么你可以在印度做大量的工作。”世行印度分部总裁兼国家主管Kaku Nakhate告诉彭博社。
“人们认真对待我们，”Nakhate补充道，“这就是为什么我们看到越来越多的可持续发展基金想要在印度投资。”
她还说，在更广泛的清洁能源领域中，电动汽车和绿色氢气是最令人感兴趣的领域。
此外，这位高管预计印度将从所谓的“朋友支持运动”中受益。在西方，企业仍在努力纠正因大流行而中断的供应链，并重新安排供应链，使其更能抵御未来潜在的冲击。
彭博社在其报告中指出，在低碳能源和其他领域，印度正在赢得投资者的青睐，因为其他地方的借贷成本上升，不稳定性增加，而次大陆似乎是一个稳定的岛屿。
事实上，根据促进印度投资的政府机构“投资印度”(Invest India)的数据，印度是全球第三大最受欢迎的清洁能源投资目的地。
印度也有雄心勃勃的可再生能源目标，尽管它在实现这些目标方面比中国慢。例如，印度计划今年的低碳能源装机容量达到175吉瓦。到2030年，这一数字将上升到500吉瓦。
据估计，该国可再生能源的潜力超过1000吉瓦。然而，随着风能和太阳能行业成本的上升，以及关键金属短缺的隐现，与世界其他地区一样，印度的净零目标可能会受到影响或推迟。

India Could Attract $10 Billion Of Low-Carbon Energy Investments In 2023
India could attract some $10 billion in low-carbon energy investments next year, Bank of America analysts have estimated, noting the subcontinent as a bright spot in a subdued capital-raising market.
“If you really have to get your ESG story right, and if you are into energy, then you can do large pieces of work in India,” Kaku Nakhate, president and country head of the Indian division of the bank, told Bloomberg.
“People take us seriously,” Nakhate added. “That’s why we are seeing more sustainability funds that want to invest in India.”
Electric vehicles and green hydrogen are among the areas of most interest in the broader clean energy area, she also said.
In addition, the top executive expects India to reap the benefits of the so-called friend-shoring drive, emerging in the West as companies still struggle to right supply chains disrupted by the pandemic and rearrange them in such a way as to make them more resilient to potential future shocks.
In both low-carbon energy and other sectors, India is winning investors over as borrowing costs elsewhere rise and instability increases while the subcontinent appears to be an island of stability, Bloomberg noted in its report.
In fact, according to Invest India, a government agency that promotes investment in the country, India is the third most popular destination for clean energy investments in the world.
India has ambitious renewable energy goals although it has been slower than China in achieving them. For this year, for instance, India plans to have an installed capacity of 175 GW of low-carbon energy. This should rise to 500 GW by 2030.
The potential for renewable energy in the country has been estimated at over 1,000 GW. However, with rising costs in the wind and solar industries, and looming shortages of critical metals, India, like the rest of the world, could see its net-zero ambitions compromised or delayed.
