India's green job market is experiencing robust growth, with demand rising 20–30% annually—outpacing 2024 projections.

The sector is expected to generate 7.29 million jobs by FY28 and 35 million by 2047 as India transitions toward a $1 trillion green economy by 2030. Key employment drivers include renewable energy, EVs, green construction, and sustainable agriculture. Tier II and III cities like Jaipur, Visakhapatnam, and Coimbatore are emerging hubs, projected to host up to 40% of new roles. There's a notable shift toward skill-based hiring, with high demand for ESG analysts, AI-driven climate experts, and hybrid sustainability-digital roles. Average salaries have grown by 20.3% in the past two years, with Tier I cities offering up to 50% more. Women currently hold only 11–12% of green jobs, though inclusive hiring and skill initiatives aim to improve parity. The sector’s digital integration is reshaping it into a mainstream career path with high growth potential.
