India's ambitious renewable energy initiatives are poised to significantly impact the real estate sector, with a projected $10–15 billion opportunity in land investments by 2030. As the country aims to increase its non-fossil fuel capacity from 251 gigawatts (GW) in 2025 to 500 GW, an additional 270–300 GW of solar and wind capacity is expected to be added. This expansion will necessitate around 7 lakh acres of land for solar and wind projects, creating substantial demand for industrial parks, warehousing, and affordable housing, especially in tier-II and tier-III cities. The renewable energy sector is anticipated to attract $110–120 billion in investments, with the industrial and warehousing segments being major beneficiaries. Renewable energy original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have already increased their leasing demand for industrial space, which is expected to grow from 3% of overall leasing in 2021 to 10–15% by 2030. Key cities like Chennai and Pune are becoming vital centers for renewable energy manufacturing and storage, further driving real estate demand.
