India Climate Finance Taxonomy & Green Bonds
This course provides a comprehensive, regulation-grounded understanding of India's climate finance ecosystem, covering the Draft India Taxonomy (May 2025), SEBI's framework for green and ESG debt securities, Sovereign Green Bonds (Rs 16,000 crore issued in FY 2023-24), and RBI's climate risk guidelines for the banking sector. You will learn how India's emerging taxonomy compares with the EU Taxonomy, how to structure and verify green bonds under SEBI's framework, the mechanics of transition finance, listing requirements on BSE and NSE, use-of-proceeds tracking, and impact reporting obligations. The course draws on real issuance data from India's growing green bond market (cumulative USD 28+ billion through 2025), regulatory circulars, and practical case studies from corporate and sovereign issuances. Designed for finance professionals, treasury teams, sustainability officers, and ESG analysts, this course equips you to participate in India's climate finance transition with confidence.
