Currency Hedging May Raise Financing Costs for India's Green Projects by 6-8%
A joint taskforce by the Confederation of Indian Industry and IIM Ahmedabad reports that currency hedging could increase financing costs for India's green projects by 6-8% annually. This cost arises from a currency mismatch, as projects earn in rupees while foreign investors lend in hard currencies, raising risks and deterring some global investors. To mitigate this, the taskforce proposes a foreign exchange risk facility and a Green Finance Institution to reduce costs and attract private capital for clean energy investments.
