A Tool for Designing Policy Packages To Achieve India’s Climate Targets: Methods, Data, and Reference Scenario of the India Energy Policy Simulator

The document introduces the India Energy Policy Simulator (India EPS) version 3.1.3, a tool developed by Energy Innovation LLC and World Resources Institute. The model allows for the quantitative assessment of climate policy packages and their effects on greenhouse gas emissions, GDP, and employment in India up to 2050. It specifically outlines the model's technical framework and its 'business-as-usual' (BAU) reference scenario to help policymakers identify cost-effective pathways to meet Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets and long-term decarbonization goals.

• The India Energy Policy Simulator (India EPS) is an open-source system dynamics model designed to quantitatively assess cross-sectoral climate policy packages for India through 2050, focusing on impacts on emissions, GDP, and jobs.
• The tool is intended to assist policymakers in designing strategies to meet India's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) goal of reducing GDP emission intensity by 33–35 per cent relative to 2005 levels by 2030, as well as future long-term low-GHG strategies for 2050.
