Tata Capital partners with GCF to support early-stage climate-tech start-ups across India
Nov-03-2025

Tata Capital has partnered with the Green Climate Fund (GCF) under its newly approved BEACON INDIA Programme to support early-stage climate-tech start-ups across India. The programme is being implemented in collaboration with the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and TREC-STEP, an innovation and entrepreneurship development organisation. Under this partnership, the company will receive a first-of-its-kind revolving facility of $15.85 million from the GCF, along with an additional $3 million grant to make financing more affordable for climate-focused start-ups. The revolving structure means that as star-tups repay their loans, the company will reinvest that money to fund new ventures ensuring the support continues for years to come. 

In addition, the company will contribute $47.6 million of its own funds towards building India’s climate innovation ecosystem. The initiative is expected to reduce over 1.1 million tonnes of CO2 emissions and benefit nearly 2.9 million people through climate adaptation and mitigation efforts.

Tata Capital (TCL), a subsidiary of Tata Sons, is operating as an NBFC in India. The firm offers consumer loans, wealth management, commercial finance, and infrastructure finance, among others.
