Bridging the Green Finance Gap for Industrial Transition
The single biggest barrier to industrial decarbonisation is not technology — it is access to affordable, patient, and appropriately structured capital.
ECG Capital Mobilisation bridges this gap by designing and executing financing solutions across the entire capital stack: from green bonds and RESCO project finance to carbon credit monetisation and blended finance facilities. Our team has deep relationships with development finance institutions (DFIs) including IFC, ADB, NABARD, SIDBI, and Green Climate Fund, plus commercial banks, impact investors, and family offices across Asia-Pacific.
We don't just introduce you to lenders — we structure transactions, de-risk projects, prepare investment-grade documentation, negotiate terms, and provide post-disbursement monitoring and reporting that satisfies both regulatory and investor requirements. Our capital desk operates as an extension of your CFO office.
Capital raised to date: $480+ million across 32 green bond issuances, 15 RESCO project finance SPVs, 12 carbon credit offtake agreements, and 2,000+ MSME green loans. Typical transaction sizes range from $500,000 for SME working capital to $50 million for industrial estate infrastructure packages.
