Abstract: This paper critically analyses how climate finance and renewable-energy investment can enable India to transition to low-carbon in the post-paris Agreement period between 2015- 2025. The research design embraced in the study is a qualitative and descriptive study design, which is solely based on secondary data that has been sourced through government reports, policy documents, international climate-finance data bases, and academic sources. The article has examined the country-level climate-financing approaches including the green bonds, renewable-energy initiatives, government-corporate initiatives, and international climate-finance instruments like the Green Climate Fund. The study identifies that India has achieved a lot in the growth of renewable-energy and other sustainable-finance processes; nonetheless, the structural issues such as financing gaps, technological dependence, unpredictable regulations, and perpetual reliance on fossil fuels remain to limit the decarbonization over time. The paper concludes with the finding that the most important issue of the realization of the climate-commitments of India in the Paris Agreement should be the improvement of the institutional coordination, climate-finance governance and technological innovations.
