|October 09, 2025
AFTER achieving the target of 50 percent of its installed capacity from non-fossil fuel energy sources five years ahead of schedule, India has clarified that it will not set any new goals in its upcoming Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement until 2030.
India missed the February deadline for submitting its next set of NDCs, which cover climate actions through 2035. It has not yet updated and submitted these documents ahead of COP 30 in Brazil.
The Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, responded to this newspaper, stating that instead of making any new commitments, India will continue to adhere to its previous commitments until 2030.
Furthermore, Santosh Sarangi, Secretary of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, explained that India’s NDC commitment was made in two key areas: increasing renewable energy installation capacity and reducing carbon emissions.
