India District Heating and Cooling Market Trends:

Rising Adoption of Renewable Energy in District Heating and Cooling

India’s district heating and cooling market is increasingly integrating renewable energy sources such as solar thermal, biomass, and geothermal energy. With the government pushing for sustainable urban infrastructure, renewable-based district energy systems are gaining traction. For instance, according to industry reports, India added nearly 15 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity between April and November 2024 nearly doubling the 7.57 GW added during the same period in the previous year Additionally, solar-powered district cooling plants are especially growing in high-cooling-demand cities, lessening the reliance on traditional electricity-based cooling. Geothermal-based heating systems are also emerging in select regions, offering a long-term, low-carbon solution. Additionally, biomass is contributing towards community-scale district heating, especially in industrial and rural settings. These developments conform to India's net-zero vision and increasing attention to energy efficiency in commercial as well as residential buildings. Besides this, public and private investments are expected to accelerate as clean energy solutions become more cost-competitive.

Urbanization and Expansion of District Energy Infrastructure

India’s rapid urbanization is driving the expansion of district heating and cooling infrastructure, particularly in commercial districts, IT parks, hospitals, and residential complexes. For instance, as per industry reports, over 40% of India’s population is projected to reside in urban areas by 2030, reflecting a substantial shift from rural to urban living. Rising energy demands, coupled with the need for efficient space cooling solutions, have led to increased adoption of centralized cooling plants in metro cities. Additionally, new urban projects, including smart cities and mixed-use developments, are prioritizing district energy networks to reduce individual building energy loads. As urban real estate expands, the government is encouraging public-private partnerships (PPPs) to develop large-scale, sustainable district heating and cooling solutions. This trend is set to accelerate with growing demand for energy-efficient infrastructure and stricter environmental regulations promoting low-carbon urban development.
