Just transition is an emerging concept in India, with gender considerations still evolving in discourse and policy. This study examines how energy transition policies and programs can be reframed to center women's voices, especially those in informal economies. By adopting a feminist political economy framework and conducting listening exercises with diverse women’s groups, this paper provides insights into the challenges and opportunities for a gender-just transition.
