(a) to (c) India submitted its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2015 and updated its first NDC in August 2022.  India has overachieved its commitments made in  its  NDC  (2015)  on  electric  power  installed  capacity  from  non-fossil  fuel-based  energy resources. As per the report of Central Electricity Authority, electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources is about 43.60% (183 GW out of total 421 GW) as on 30 th June 2023.

As per the updated NDC, India has an enhanced target to reduce emissions intensity of its GDP by 45 percent by 2030 from 2005 level and achieve about 50 percent cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030.  The other targets are to create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional  forest  and  tree  cover  by  2030;  propagate  sustainable  lifestyles  through  a  mass movement of 'LIFE' (Lifestyle for Environment) as a key to combating climate change; to better adapt to climate change; adopt climate friendly and cleaner development path; mobilize domestic, new and additional funds and capacity building.

India has progressively continued decoupling of economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions. India's emission intensity of gross domestic product (GDP) has reduced by 24 per cent between 2005 and 2016. As per the estimates published by the Forest Survey of India, India is  on  the  track  to  achieve  additional  carbon  sink  of  2.5  billion  to  3.0  billion  tones  through additional forest and tree cover by 2030, and has achieved carbon sink of 1.97 billion tonnes of CO2 by 2019 as compared to base year 2005.
