- A1 and 2 only
- B2 and 3 only
- C1 only
- D1, 2 and 3
Explanation
India's Panchamrit commitments include 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy capacity by 2030 (statement 1 true). India achieved 50 percent cumulative installed capacity from non-fossil sources in June 2025, five years ahead of schedule (statement 2 true). But India's updated NDC (2022) targets a 45 percent reduction in the emissions intensity of GDP by 2030 from the 2005 level, not 33 percent, which was the older 2015 figure (statement 3 false). Hence statements 1 and 2 are correct.
