#Cabinet approved India’s environmental targets for 2030–2035 under the Paris Agreement framework
Key goals include reducing emissions intensity of GDP by 47% (from 2005 levels) and increasing non-fossil fuel power capacity to 60% by 2035. India has already achieved a 36% reduction in emissions intensity and 52% installed power capacity from clean sources, along with creating a 2.3 billion-tonne carbon sink through forest cover
