Explanation
India's updated NDC (2022) raised the emissions-intensity reduction target to 45% below 2005 levels by 2030 — the 33%-35% figure was the older 2015 pledge, so statement 1 as stated is not a current key target. The 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity target by 2030 and net-zero by 2070 (Panchamrit) are both current targets, so statements 2 and 3 are correct. Hence the answer is 2 and 3 only.
