As far as India is concerned, it will achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2070 and reduce one billion tonnes of carbon emissions from the total projected emissions by 2030.
India will bring its non-fossil energy capacity to 500 GW by 2030 and it will fulfill 50 percent of its energy requirement through renewable energy by 2030. The country constitutes 17 percent of the global population and its contribution to the emission has remained only five percent.

The initiative calls for setting up of a global grid that would be able to transmit solar power that is clean energy anywhere and anytime. It will reduce the storage needs, make solar projects viable and reduce carbon foot-prints and the energy cost.
