Abstract: Green bonds have a huge role to play in tackling climate change. Governments and policymakers across the globe have agreed on attaining 17 sustainable development goals by 2030. India has one of the largest renewable energy programs to tackle climate change. In February 2022, the Government of India announced the launch of sovereign green bonds. With this objective, this study aims to identify the factors that should be considered by the policymakers while launching the proposed sovereign green bonds by the union government. The factors identified have been grouped into four broad sets namely infrastructural factors, political and economic factors, financial factors and social factors. The findings reveal that coupon (interest) rate offered, exchange rate stability, monitoring and management framework, sovereign guarantee, and carbon performance benchmarks among others are imperative for green bond operations in India. The inputs from this study can help design the policy for a successful launch of sovereign green bonds.
