India in Global Emissions Map According to the World Resources Institute, India's total emissions of greenhouse gases in 2018 were around 3-3 billion tonnes. This is projected to rise to over 4 billion tonnes per annum by 2030 . This would mean that India could emit anywhere between 35 and 40 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas at current rates of growth between the present and 2030. therefore , . The billion-ton cut would represent a 2.5 to 3 percent reduction in its absolute emissions over the next 9 years in the usual business scenario. Prime Minister's commitment to a Green India Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Panchamrut Pledge' at the UN-led COP-26 meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, is of paramount importance. These include • Net zero by 2070 Net zero means that man-made carbon emissions from the atmosphere by photosynthesis or by physically linked absorption processes should be eliminated by 2030 by increasing non-fossil fuel based energy capacity to 500 GW Doing . To reduce carbon emissions by billion tonnes. • Cut carbon intensity by 45 percent by 2030.

The big deal here is not the target itself, but the fact that India finally bowed down and decided to take a target , which he had been holding back for a long time. In its climate action plan presented under the Paris Agreement, India has reduced its emissions intensity by 2030 from 2005 levels. Or promised to reduce emissions per unit of GDP by 33 to 35 percent. Even at that time it was considered a modest target, something that could be achieved in the usual business scenario. In fact, some estimates suggest that India will achieve this target 8 years ago by 2022. This is in line with the progress made by reducing it by 45 percent. The same is true with the increase in installed capacity of renewable energy and the proportion of renewable sources in India 's electricity generation . Two years ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while speaking at a climate meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, said that India would take its renewable energy installed capacity to 450 GW by 2030. India's publicly announced target at that time was 175 GW by the year 2022. Installed renewable energy source capacity has been growing rapidly over the past few years and increasing from 450 GW to 500 GW is not likely to be too challenging. The increase in the proportion of renewable energy sources in India 's electricity generation by 50 percent is a natural consequence . Most of the new capacity addition in the energy sector is being done in the renewable and non - fossil fuel sectors .
