Abstract	The Indian apparel supply chain is increasingly recognizing the critical role of renewable energy in driving sustainable transitions. This research addresses three important objectives: (1) the identification of key enablers and barriers driving the renewable energy transition, (2) the analysis of notable government policy and incentives for adoption and (3) an evaluation of the quantifiable impacts of renewable energy adoption within the industry. Utilizing a descriptive research methodology, this study examines secondary data to achieve its objectives. The findings indicate that economic limitations are a key concern. In contrast, governmental incentives, increasing awareness and market competition serve as key enablers. The study also highlights several government policies and schemes that effectively reduce economic costs and attract investments in sustainable energy. Furthermore, renewable energy adoption is associated with notable benefits, including improved energy efficiency and significant reductions in carbon emissions across the apparel supply chain.
