Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much aid the UK has given India (a) directly and (b) via contributions to multilateral organisations in each of the last five years; and what proportion of that aid was for investment in renewable energy.

The UK has given no direct financial aid to the Government of India since 2015. Figures for UK bilateral and imputed share of multilateral Official Development Assistance (ODA) to India are as follows:

2017 - £90.1 million bilateral and £159.5 million multilateral
2018 - £94.6 million bilateral and £177.5 million multilateral
2019 - £107.5 million bilateral and £83.1 million multilateral
2020 - £94.8 million bilateral and £69.5 million multilateral
2021 - £90.6 million bilateral and estimated £69.5 million multilateral

In addition, £1 billion was invested through British Investment International between 2016-2021. We do not hold data on the proportion of the bilateral or multilateral ODA invested in renewable energy.
