NEW DELHI: Laying out 18 investment opportunities areas (IOAs), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Invest India launched Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Investor Map for India. The IOAs listed are in six critical SDG enabling sectors which includes education, healthcare, agriculture and allied activities, financial services, renewable energy and alternatives, and sustainable environment. The UNDP said that these IOAs will help India push the needle forward on sustainable development.

To ensure that the Map’s findings were reflective of market sentiment, these sectors and the IOAs within them were selected through a rigorous analytical process. It included an all-encompassing consultation with a number of leading domestic and international investors, government stakeholders and think-tanks.

Deepak Bagla, MD & CEO, Invest India, said that they hope their data-backed research and insights serve as useful blueprints to understand how best the SDG financing gap can be narrowed in India. He added that India occupies key role in determining the global success of the SDGs.
