2035 NDC Target

India announced its new 2035 NDC targets in March 2026. Under existing policies, India is likely to achieve its new 2035 target - to increase its non‑fossil capacity to 60% - by, or even before, 2030. While the final quantification of India’s 2035 intensity target depends on how updated GDP is measured, this target will not bring any real emission reductions given India’s fast-growing GDP.

As with its 2030 NDC, India’s 2035 targets are formulated in a way that makes their scope and ambition difficult to assess. CAT calculations show that these new targets would still allow India’s emissions to continue rising and remain far from the levels India could achieve in practice. You can find more details and the CAT’s full reaction to the announced target here.

Once India has officially submitted its 2035 NDC to the UNFCCC, we will publish a full assessment here.
