India has submitted its Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which focuses on India’s transition away from fossil fuels. Under this strategy, India plans to expand its green hydrogen production, increase electrolyser manufacturing capacity, and increase its nuclear capacity three-fold by 2032 (6.8 GW at the end of 2021).
In addition, India plans to increase the use of biofuels, electric vehicle penetration, and the use of green hydrogen fuel in the transport sector. The country notably wants ethanol blending to reach 20% by 2025. For its transition to low carbon, India also plans several costs pertaining to the development of new technologies, new infrastructure, and other transaction costs, estimated grossly at several trillions of dollars by 2050.
