India’s Climate Change Mitigation Framework

1. Key Challenges

Emissions Trajectory: India’s GHG emissions are rising due to economic growth, with the power sector (37%) and agriculture (21%) being the largest contributors. Achieving the 2070 net-zero target requires immediate action to avoid stranded assets and transition costs.

Tradeoffs: Reducing emissions short-term could slow growth, but inaction risks higher climate costs. Policies like carbon pricing can balance these tradeoffs while safeguarding equity.

Distributional Impacts: Coal-dependent communities face job losses. Just transition policies (e.g., retraining schemes and income support) are essential to mitigate social costs.

2. Current Policy Landscape

Power Sector:

Solar capacity growth is impressive (150% since 2019), but coal dependency remains high. DISCOM debt and renewable integration challenges (e.g., grid stability) hinder progress.

Industrial Sector:

Energy efficiency programs (e.g., PAT scheme) have reduced emissions, but heavy industries face high abatement costs.

Transport & Agriculture:

Subsidized fossil fuels and limited EV infrastructure constrain decarbonization.

Other Initiatives:

PLI schemes for solar panels and batteries.
National Carbon Market testing (via Energy Conservation Amendment Bill).

3. Proposed Policy Pathways

Three Scenarios to Achieve 15% 2030 Emission Reduction:

Policy Package	Key Features	GDP Impact	Energy Mix Change
Renewable Subsidy Only	Direct support for wind/solar power	0.45% GDP loss by 2030	10% renewable share increase
Renewable Subsidy + Coal Excise Tax	Feebate-like approach (revenue-neutral policy)	0.18–0.3% GDP loss	14–15% renewable share increase
Renewable Subsidy + Carbon Tax	Corrects carbon prices, reduces fiscal burden	0.05–0.2% GDP loss	15% renewable share increase

4. Global Cooperation & Financing

India is a net climate beneficiary, requiring international transfers ($30–$60 billion) to meet abatement costs under a 1.5°C pathway.
Technology transfer (e.g., solar alliances) is a strength, but access to critical minerals remains a hurdle.

5. Recommendations

Scale Renewable Investments: Leverage technology and international finance to meet $10 trillion+ net-zero goals.
Ensure Just Transition: Use fiscal tools (e.g., carbon taxes) and social transfers to support coal-dependent regions.
Strengthen Global Equity: Advocate for climate finance and technology-sharing in international agreements.

Conclusion: Balancing growth and emissions is feasible with strategic policies, but delays increase costs and inequality risks.
