India has strengthened its position in Asia’s green economy by emerging as the region’s dominant player in biogas energy equipment while generating an estimated $110 billion in green revenues in 2025, according to the Investing in the Green Economy 2026 report by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).
The report showed that India accounted for 87 per cent of Asia’s green revenues in biogas energy equipment, highlighting the country’s growing role in clean energy segments linked to agriculture, rural infrastructure, waste-to-energy solutions and decentralised energy systems.
India’s overall green revenues grew at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 per cent, outperforming Asia’s average growth rate of 12 per cent and the global average of 10 per cent over the same period.
Although India remains smaller in scale than regional leaders such as China and Japan, the report noted that the country has built strong positions in selected green sectors.
Along with its leadership in biogas energy equipment, India also accounted for 75 per cent of Asia’s green revenues in advanced irrigation systems and devices.
The findings indicate increasing momentum in sectors connected to agricultural sustainability and clean energy deployment, even though India’s overall contribution to Asia’s green revenue pool remains relatively modest.
Asia remained the world’s largest green-revenue region in 2025, with companies across the continent contributing 47 per cent of global green revenues.
Regional growth was led by China, Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea, supported by investments across energy equipment, transport technologies, waste management, electric vehicle batteries and rail infrastructure.
Within Asia, China accounted for 41 per cent of total regional green revenues, followed by Japan at 28 per cent, Hong Kong at 10 per cent, South Korea at 6 per cent and Taiwan at 5 per cent. India contributed approximately 4 per cent of Asia’s green revenues.
The report also highlighted Asia’s leadership in clean-energy investment.
China invested around $625 billion across renewable energy, energy storage, nuclear power and energy efficiency projects, while India followed with approximately $100 billion in clean-energy investment, representing 83 per cent of the country’s power-sector capital allocation.
At the same time, the report pointed to ongoing challenges around energy security, noting that Asia remains dependent on imported fossil fuels and continues to account for a major share of global coal demand.
For India, the report reflects a dual trend -the country remains a relatively small contributor to Asia’s listed green economy by size but is expanding faster than many regional peers and has already established leadership in niche segments led by biogas energy equipment and advanced irrigation technologies.
LSEG noted that green revenue estimates are based on April 2026 data, while company revenue figures correspond to December 2025.
