NABARD Green Impact Fund

The NABARD Green Impact Fund channels capital into climate-adaptation, sustainability and agri-climate startups, supporting ventures that build resilience across rural and agricultural value chains. The Green Impact Fund is a ₹1,000 crore vehicle financed from NABARD's own profits, structured alongside a companion ₹300 crore NABARD Carbon Fund focused on emissions mitigation and carbon-capture ventures, with technical design support from Intellecap (Aavishkaar Group) aimed at closing financing gaps in climate-resilient agriculture. Interest income from the fund is intended to lower borrowing costs for implementing agencies, including state governments running crop-diversification and water-efficient farming initiatives that startups in this space often plug into.
