Overview

• India is projected to reduce its GDP emissions intensity by 48–57% by 2030, exceeding its 45% target set under the Paris Agreement.
• The CEEW-AEEE study suggests potential 2035 NDC targets, including a 55–66% emissions intensity reduction and 60–68% non-fossil fuel capacity.
• Achieving the 2070 net-zero goal will require carbon pricing, power tariff reforms, fiscal support for clean technologies, and energy efficiency mandates.
• Behavioural shifts under Mission LiFE could deliver up to a 10% emissions reduction by 2050 relative to business-as-usual scenarios.
• India has yet to finalize its 2031–2035 NDCs, with the UN urging submission by September following a missed February deadline.
