NDCs and India’s Progress on Paris Agreement Targets
India’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) embody its climate commitments under the Paris Agreement (COP21, 2015). NDCs reflect efforts to reduce emissions, increase clean energy, and enhance carbon sinks, forming the basis for tracking India’s climate policy advances.
Background
- Initial NDCs (2015)
- Reduce emissions intensity of GDP by 33–35% (from 2005 levels) by 2030.
- At least 40% of electricity generation from non-fossil sources by 2030.
- Create 2.5–3 billion tonnes of additional carbon sink via forests and tree cover.
- Updated NDCs (2022)
- Cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources enhanced to 50% by 2030.
- Reduce emissions intensity by 45% by 2030 (from 2005 levels).
