Overview
Why India — and why now
India is in the middle of the most ambitious clean energy programme any country has ever attempted — a half-terawatt renewable target by 2030, a National Green Hydrogen Mission, and net-zero commitments that have sent every major corporation scrambling for sustainability talent. The demand for people who understand solar PV systems, carbon accounting, ESG disclosure, EV battery supply chains, and climate policy has never been higher. Salaries are rising to match.
GreenHired India brings together green jobs from the country's top energy developers, clean tech startups, sustainability consultancies, and NGOs in one place. Every listing shows a salary range upfront — because a job board that makes you guess your own worth isn't much of a job board at all.

Market context
Why India’s green economy is hiring right now
India added more solar capacity in 2023 than the previous five years combined. Cities from Bangalore to Jamshedpur are electrifying their bus fleets. The Securities and Exchange Board of India now mandates BRSR reporting for the top 1,000 listed companies — creating a permanent demand for sustainability professionals that didn't exist three years ago. Whether you're a freshly certified LEED AP in Pune, an energy modeller in Hyderabad, or a carbon market specialist in Mumbai, the roles are here.
What makes this moment different from earlier green economy waves in India is who is hiring. It's not just NGOs and government agencies anymore. It's Tata, Adani, ReNew, Greenko, and a hundred VC-backed climate startups paying software-industry salaries for people who understand both the climate and the code. The Just Transition and the digital transition are arriving at the same time in India, and that convergence is creating career opportunities with no real equivalent in the world's other major economies.

Questions
Green jobs in India — FAQ
The questions candidates ask us most about working in India.
What green jobs are available in India right now?
The most active hiring is in solar energy (project engineers, site supervisors, EPC managers), ESG and BRSR reporting (sustainability managers, carbon accountants), and EV infrastructure. Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, and Chennai account for roughly 60% of open roles. Climate tech startups are increasingly hiring across Hyderabad and Delhi-NCR as well.
How much do green jobs pay in India?
Entry-level sustainability analysts typically earn ₹5–9 LPA. Mid-level ESG managers and solar project engineers earn ₹12–22 LPA. Senior sustainability heads at large corporates command ₹35–65 LPA. Climate tech startups with VC backing sometimes offer total compensation packages — including ESOPs — that push well above these ranges for the right technical profiles.
Do I need special qualifications for green jobs in India?
It depends on the role. Technical positions in solar design and EV engineering typically need an engineering degree. ESG and sustainability roles increasingly value certifications like GRI, LEED AP, or CFA ESG Certificate. Many employers also hire strong candidates from policy, law, and economics backgrounds — especially for regulatory and reporting roles where analytical rigour matters more than a specific technical degree.
Which cities have the most green jobs in India?
Bangalore leads by volume, particularly for climate tech startups and ESG consulting. Mumbai is the hub for green finance, BRSR compliance, and corporate sustainability. Pune and Chennai are strong for EV and manufacturing sustainability. Delhi-NCR dominates for policy roles, development sector jobs, and government-adjacent positions. Ahmedabad and Surat are emerging for solar development given Gujarat's scale of deployment.
