Yes Bank issued India’s first ever Green Infrastructure Bonds in February 2015, followed by issuances in August 2015 and September 2016.

Rana Kapoor, managing director and CEO, Yes Bank, said: “The government’s thrust towards transforming India into a low-carbon economy offers financial institutions and investors an unprecedented opportunity to leverage green financing as a growth accelerator for sunrise and climate positive sectors such as renewable energy. Yes Bank has taken a lead in demonstrating innovative climate financing mechanisms, and catalysing the Indian climate finance market.”
