The Energy Transition Dialogues Communique
Summary
The Energy Transition Dialogues Communique outlines India's climate commitments, including its updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and the significant financial investment required to reach its 2030 and 2070 net-zero targets.
Key insights
- India has committed to reducing the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030 relative to 2005 levels and aims to have approximately 50% of its cumulative installed electric power capacity derived from non-traditional fuel-based energy resources by 2030, with a long-term goal of a net zero economy by 2070.
- To meet its 2030 objectives—which include scaling non-traditional energy capacity to 500 GW and reducing projected emissions by one billion metric tons—India requires an estimated investment of US$2.5 trillion between 2015 and 2030, or roughly US$200 billion per year.
- The total cumulative investment necessary for India to achieve its net-zero target by 2070 is estimated at US$10.1 trillion.
