  "account": "New Delhi: Green finance in India has surged to $82 billion, yet most of this investment remains focused on well-established sectors, according to a recent report. The Landscape of Green Finance in India, a fourth edition assessment, highlights that private capital now surpasses public funds, accounting for 68% of domestic green finance in 2023-24. The report reveals that while total green finance has grown from $50 billion in 2021-22 to $81.9 billion in 2023-24, most of this funding remains concentrated in sectors like renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean transportation, and electric vehicles. Clean energy projects, comprising over half of the tracked mitigation finance at $41.4 billion, lead this sector-specific investment. Energy efficiency projects garnered the next highest share at 31%, with clean transportation accounting for 18% of the mitigation funds. To stimulate investment in emerging technologies and sectors, the report suggests the establishment of a comprehensive knowledge hub, providing financiers with crucial information about the risks and returns associated with lending to less-established technologies.",
