India has updated its climate commitments under Nationally Determined Contributions, targeting 47% emissions intensity reduction and 60% non-fossil power capacity by 2035 under the Paris Agreement framework.

BulletsIn:

• India targets 47% reduction in emissions intensity of GDP from 2005 levels by 2035, strengthening earlier climate commitments and improving energy efficiency across sectors
• Non-fossil fuel-based installed electricity capacity target raised to 60% by 2035, marking significant jump from earlier 50% goal for 2030
• Carbon sink target increased to 3.5–4 billion tonnes of CO₂ equivalent through afforestation and ecological restoration initiatives
• Updated targets to be submitted to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change under obligations of Paris Agreement
• Current progress shows India already achieved around 52% non-fossil installed capacity, though actual power generation share remains lower
• Earlier NDC targets included 44% emissions intensity reduction and 2.5–3 billion tonnes carbon sink goal for 2030
• Climate strategy guided by principle of common but differentiated responsibilities ensuring balance between development needs and climate action
