India's Sustainable Future: Progress Towards Net-Zero Emissions by 2070
Key Ideas
  • India's pursuit of sustainability and climate resilience post-Budget 2024 includes increased investment in renewable energy and energy transition pathways.
  • Emphasis on climate-resilient agriculture through seed distribution, natural farming practices, and digital integration of farmers' land.
  • Introduction of the National Green Hydrogen Mission and initiatives like the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) to boost green hydrogen production.
  • Successful implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission, providing over 15.19 crore rural households with tap water connections by October 2024.
India has made significant strides in sustainability and climate resilience following the Budget 2024 announcement. The country aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2070, demonstrated through various initiatives. These include increased investment in renewable energy, exemplified by schemes like PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and customs duty exemptions for manufacturing solar panels. Energy transition pathways are being established, with NITI Aayog working on guidelines for India's energy transition and NTPC Green Energy Limited investing in green hydrogen projects. The government is also focusing on climate-resilient agriculture, releasing high-yielding seed varieties and promoting natural farming practices. Programs like the National Green Hydrogen Mission and Carbon Credit Trading Scheme showcase India's commitment to sustainability. Additionally, efforts to mitigate water scarcity through the Jal Jeevan Mission highlight environmental stewardship. Looking ahead, the nation anticipates deepening support for renewable energy and advancing climate-resilient agricultural practices in the upcoming 2025 Union Budget.
