India announced at COP26 in Glasgow, as part of its Panchamrit commitments, that it would achieve net-zero emissions by 2070. The year 2030 is the date for interim targets such as non-fossil capacity, while 2050 is the net-zero year chosen by many developed countries.
- A2030
- B2040
- C2050
- D2070Correct
Explanation
At COP26 in 2021 India announced the Panchamrit, including a net-zero target for 2070. The year 2030 is the date for the interim targets such as 500 GW non-fossil capacity, not net zero. 2050 is the date many developed countries chose, so it is the tempting wrong answer.
