This article investigates the economic feasibility of transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources within the manufacturing hubs of South Asia. It examines the initial capital requirements and the long-term energy savings associated with solar and wind integration. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach to gather data from various industrial estates.

The results indicate that while the transition is technically possible, policy inconsistency remains the biggest hurdle for investors. The paper concludes with a set of recommendations for governments to provide more stable subsidies and tax incentives to encourage green energy adoption in the industrial sector.
