Explanation

India's key climate targets, established through its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Panchamrit pledges, are as follows:

  • Statement 1 is incorrect: The 2015 NDC initially targeted a 33%-35% reduction in emissions intensity by 2030. However, this was officially updated in 2022 to a 45% reduction by 2030. Furthermore, a new target of a 47% reduction by 2035 was approved in 2026. The 33%-35% figure is therefore outdated.
  • Statement 2 is correct: Under the Panchamrit strategy at COP26, India pledged to reach 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030.
  • Statement 3 is correct: India formally committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, which anchors its long-term climate action strategy.

Therefore, only statements 2 and 3 represent valid current targets.
