Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore the present scenario of green financial instruments in India. The paper also highlights the scope for introducing additional green financial instruments in India. Results reveal that Indian banks are active issuers of green financial instruments. Stock exchanges in India are also seen implementing green finance by modifying their operations and by abiding to International Sustainable Finance Initiatives. Results highlight that India has introduced a variety of green financial instruments which include green indices, green venture capital, green bond, green loans, green insurance, guarantees, green banking, and risk-sharing tools. However, only 8 out of 18 green financial instruments found in other nations are available in India. The study recommends scope for introducing additional green financial instruments in India.
