- BAchieving the target of net zero emissions by 2047
- CReduction of the carbon intensity of the economy by 45 percent by 2030, over the 2005 levels
- DReduction of total projected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030
Explanation
At COP-26 in Glasgow (2021), India announced five 'Panchamrit' pledges: 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030, 50% of energy requirements from renewables by 2030, one billion tonnes of projected emission reduction by 2030, a 45% cut in carbon intensity over 2005 levels by 2030, and net zero by 2070. The net-zero target year is 2070, not 2047 — so option B is not part of Panchamrit. Options A, C and D restate the genuine pledges.
