India's energy investment is set to hit a record $170 billion in 2026, driven by solar PV and oil refining growth, according to the IEA's latest World Energy Investment report.

Energy investment in India has grown at an average annual rate of 11% over the past five years, with solar PV investment rising 25% annually and oil refining investment growing 23%
