India pledges to source 40% of its electricity from renewable and low carbon sources by 2030

Source 40% electricity from non-fossil fuel sources by world's third biggest green house gas emitter.

   India has released its climate change plan ahead of Paris climate summit starting November 30, 2015. There is approval for the nation's commitment to cut the “emissions intensity” of its economy by up to 35% by 2030. 'Emissions Intensity' is a ratio of carbon emissions per unit of GDP. India has earlier pledged an emissions intensity cut of up to 25% by 2020. The country claims it was responsible for less carbon pollution than many developed countries since the industrial revolution. Its 'Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC)', submitted to the UN, focuses on clean energy including solar power.

"... India’s population of 1.2 billion, about 363 million of whom live in poverty, is projected to grow to 1.5 billion by 2030. “It is estimated that more than half of India of 2030 is yet to be built,” India’s submission claimed.
Prakash Javadekar, India’s environment minister, said: “Though India is not part of the problem, it wants to be part of the solution. Our historical cumulative emission as of today is below 3%.” ..."
...
"... Unlike the largely dry language of submissions by the US and EU, India’s contains colourful passages explaining its attitude towards the environment, citing its long tradition of a harmonious relationship between man and nature. Mahatma Gandhi is invoked several times, including his comment that “Earth has enough resources to meet people’s needs, but will never have enough to satisfy people’s greed.” ..."
...
"... An analysis of 140 countries’ pledges to the UN so far found this week that they would see temperatures rise to 2.7C above pre-industrial levels by 2100. Governments at previous climate talks have committed to holding rises to 2C. ..."
