The Asian Development Bank and the UN Green Climate Fund are set to launch a financial facility to bolster emerging clean technologies in India.

With an initial $200 million provided by the UN’s fund, the instrument’s targets include round-the-clock renewables, electric mobility and compressed biogas, according to an ADB statement seen by Bloomberg and expected to be released later on Thursday.
