Abstract

This study explores the important roles of Fintech and green bonds in promoting clean energy generation in India, while also analyzing the related risk dynamics. Expanding on prior research that emphasizes the significant influence of digital finance and innovative financial instruments on sustainable development, this study employs a rigorous methodology and thorough data analysis to offer fresh perspectives on their collaborative connection. Previous research has shown how Fintech can make finance more accessible to everyone, lower transaction costs, and improve transparency by utilizing technologies like digital platforms, mobile payments, and blockchain. In the same vein, green bonds have gained recognition for their ability to attract investment for environmental initiatives. This study expands on these findings in the Indian context, demonstrating how Fintech can further improve financing for renewable energy projects and how green bonds can contribute to sustainable energy initiatives. The research highlights the significance of proactive regulatory frameworks to adapt to the changing market landscape, guaranteeing strong regulations and effective risk management. This study provides valuable insights into the role of policymaking in promoting a sustainable future, which can help enhance environmental sustainability efforts in India.
