Green job demand in India sees 20–30% annual growth; Tier II/III cities to host up to 40% roles
New Delhi: India's green economy is expected to generate 7.29 million jobs by FY28 and about 35 million jobs by 2047, according to industry estimates. The projections come as the country moves toward a green economy valued at USD 1 trillion by 2030 and USD 15 trillion by 2070. The latest employment outlook for the green sector exceeds earlier projections made in 2024, which had estimated a 15–20 per cent year-on-year increase in demand for green jobs over the next 10 years. Companies are modifying their workforce strategies by prioritising skill-based hiring and practical green competencies over traditional qualifications. They are also forming partnerships with academic institutions to equip the youth with sustainability-related skills and investing in inclusive hiring and re-skilling initiatives. Major job creation is expected in renewable energy, waste management, electric vehicles, sustainable textiles, and green construction sectors. The growth is expected across urban and peri-urban regions. While cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi continue to attract aspirants for green jobs, Tier II and III cities including Jaipur, Indore, Visakhapatnam, Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Bhubaneswar, and Chandigarh are emerging as important centres. These cities are projected to account for 35–40 per cent of the 7.29 million jobs by FY28. Job roles in the green sector are expanding beyond traditional segments. Demand for roles such as ESG analysts, green tech experts, and climate data analysts has increased compared to last year and is projected to grow by 20–30 per cent annually. Hybrid roles that combine sustainability expertise with digital proficiency are expected to see a 4–6 times rise in demand. ESG analyst roles are projected to grow by 13–20 times. Green technology is also being influenced by innovations in precision farming, smart irrigation, and AI-based climate modelling. New roles are being created in sustainable agriculture and clean technology through blockchain traceability systems. Professionals with expertise in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), remote monitoring systems, and lifecycle assessment tools are in demand. The average salary across profiles in the green sector has increased by 20.3 per cent over the past one to two years. Salaries in Tier I cities can be up to 50 per cent higher than in Tier II cities, driven by the cost of living differences. Currently, women account for 11–12 per cent of green jobs in India. This is attributed to unequal access to technical education, workplace safety concerns, and cultural barriers. Organisations are adopting inclusive hiring practices and supporting women-focused skill development programmes. These initiatives are expected to improve gender parity by 12–15 per cent over the next 5–6 years. Sachin Alug, CEO of NLB Services, said, 'In the past 4–5 years, we've seen green jobs evolve from niche roles to mainstream opportunities across renewable energy, EVs, and sustainable infrastructure.
