Bhupender Yadav
India's Environment Minister
“India’s emissions intensity has declined by over 36% since 2005, and non-fossil sources now account for more than half of our total electric power installed capacity (currently around 256 GW), an NDC target achieved five years ahead of our 2030 goal.”

Dr Chandra Bhushan
Chief Executive Officer, iFOREST
“It is heartening to know that India will soon release its revised NDCs. This announcement puts to rest unnecessary speculation about India’s commitment to the Paris Agreement. India has already achieved its previous NDC targets five years ahead of schedule, and I am confident that its new pledges will further strengthen its position as a global leader in climate action.”
