India is working to transform its energy landscape with a significant clean energy share, Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh has told the international community while asserting the country will achieve net zero emissions by 2070.
By 2030, India has agreed to reach 500GW non-fossil energy capacity, shift 50 per cent of energy its requirements to renewable sources, lower overall anticipated carbon emissions by one billion tonnes and reduce carbon intensity of the economy by 45 per cent over the 2005 levels.
“India is continually working towards transforming the energy landscape of the country with significant clean energy share,” Singh said at the Global Clean Energy Acceleration Forum, the joint convening of the 7th Mission Innovation and 13th Clean Energy Ministerial, here.
