India's Updated NDC (2031-2035)

In March 2026 the Union Cabinet cleared India's next climate pledge under the Paris Agreement — its Nationally Determined Contribution for 2031 to 2035 — and India lodged it with the UN the following month. The plan sharpens three headline goals, all measured from a 2005 baseline: cut the emissions intensity of GDP by 47 percent, draw 60 percent of installed power capacity from non-fossil fuels, and grow a forest-and-tree carbon sink worth 3.5 to 4 billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent, each by 2035. It builds on targets India met years early and threads through its stated route to net zero by 2070 and a developed India by 2047.
