Greenmarch Law · Ahmedabad · Est. 2011
Permits, ESG and the law of a cleaner grid.
We are an environmental and energy practice for the people building India's transition — the developers, buyers and funds who need clearances that hold, contracts that fund, and disclosures that stand up to scrutiny.

The practice
A clean-energy project is an engineering problem wrapped in a regulatory one.
Greenmarch Law was founded in Ahmedabad in 2011 to do one thing well: move energy and infrastructure projects through the environmental and regulatory system without surprises. Gujarat sits at the centre of India's renewable build-out, and the rules around it — clearances, consents, disclosure, tariff — move fast.
We read those rules for a living. From the first EIA scoping note to the last tariff order, we keep a project's legal position clean, financeable and defensible — and when it is challenged, we are the ones in the room.
- 01Single specialist desk for environment, energy and ESG
- 02Advisory and disputes under one roof — no hand-offs
- 03On the ground across Gujarat, briefed pan-India
Practice areas
Four disciplines that follow a project from land to litigation.
The stages rarely arrive in order and often run at once. We staff a matter so the clearance lawyer, the contracts lawyer and the litigator already know the file.
02 · Build
Renewables & energy
Solar, wind, hybrid and storage projects — land aggregation, PPAs and open access, RE park allotments, transmission connectivity, green hydrogen and project finance support.
03 · Comply
ESG & compliance
BRSR and climate disclosure, RPO and carbon-market obligations, board and governance advisory, supply-chain due diligence, and the green-finance conditions that come attached to capital.
04 · Defend
Disputes & enforcement
National Green Tribunal, appellate tribunals and regulatory commissions, tariff and PPA disputes, writ petitions, and defending enforcement and show-cause proceedings when a project is challenged.
On the record
Every megawatt reaches the grid on a paper trail. We make sure that trail is short, correct and impossible to unpick.

Renewables & energy
Counsel for the build-out, from first megawatt to financial close.
Renewable projects live or die on the details that sit between the land and the line. We handle the legal spine of the project so your engineers and financiers can move.
- Land & site. Aggregation, title diligence, lease and easement structuring, and revenue-district approvals.
- Offtake. PPAs, captive and group-captive structures, open access, banking and wheeling arrangements.
- Connectivity. RE-park allotments, transmission access, metering and scheduling compliance.
- What's next. Storage, round-the-clock supply and green-hydrogen offtake as the market matures.
// Who we act for
Built for the people financing, building and running the transition.
Our clients are the ones with capital at risk and a timeline that cannot slip. We speak their commercial language, not only the statute.
-
Developers & IPPs
Independent power producers and platform developers scaling utility and C&I portfolios.
-
Manufacturers & C&I buyers
Industrial groups procuring clean power and decarbonising operations under RPO and BRSR.
-
Infra & PE funds
Investors underwriting assets and platforms who need clearance and title risk read straight.
-
EPC & contractors
Engineering and construction firms navigating consents, labour and site-level compliance.
-
Municipal & public bodies
Urban and public agencies on waste, water, emissions and clean-mobility mandates.
-
Green-finance lenders
Banks and DFIs whose facilities ride on covenants, use-of-proceeds and ESG conditions.
How we work
Rigorous about the law. Realistic about the deadline.
We were built inside the energy transition, not adjacent to it. That shows up in how we run a file — plainly, commercially and with an eye on what the regulator will actually do next.
01
One desk, no hand-offs
The lawyer who wins your clearance is the lawyer who defends it. Institutional memory stays inside the file instead of leaking between teams.
02
Advice you can act on
Every opinion ends with a recommendation and a next step. We flag the commercial trade-off, not just the legal risk, and we say what we would do.
03
Financeable by design
We draft to survive a lender's and an acquirer's diligence from day one, so approvals and contracts hold up long after the ribbon is cut.
04
Ahead of the rule
BRSR, storage mandates, carbon markets — we track policy as it forms so your project is compliant with the rule that is coming, not only the one that is here.
// The partners
A small bench of specialists who stay on your file.
You work with the partners, not a rotating cast. Each leads one of our four disciplines and sits a corridor apart.
