Progress_Towards 2030 COP26 Targets
Non-fossil Fuel Energy Capacity: India aims to reach 500 GW. Currently at 201.45 GW, significant progress is needed to meet this target.
Renewable Energy: India aims to meet 50% of its energy requirements from renewable sources by 2030 at 46.3%, India is on track but needs to accelerate efforts.
Carbon Emissions Reduction: India aims to reduce total projected carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes from now until 2030. Progress is ongoing, with renewable energy capacity increases contributing to this goal.
Carbon_Intensity Reduction: India aims to reduce the carbon intensity of its economy by 45% by 2030. The increase in renewable energy capacity is a positive step towards this target.
Miles to go before we Succed!
