About 40% of their spending will be on new businesses, such as green hydrogen, clean energy, semiconductors, electric vehicles, and aviation, S&P Global said in a report Monday. India’s largest business houses, including the Adani Group, Reliance Industries Ltd. and Tata Group, are set to spend about $350 billion in these sectors, analysts led by Neel Gopalakrishnan wrote.
