Over half a century ago, India’s then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi talked about the staggering
challenge for developing nations: to industrialize without harming the environment.
2
“On the one hand the rich look askance at our continuing poverty — on the other, they warn us
against their own methods,” she told a United Nations event in Stockholm in 1972, the first
global conference to make the environment a major issue.

“We do not wish to impoverish the environment any further and yet we cannot for a moment
forget the grim poverty of large numbers of people,” she added.

Her words have never been more relevant. The tension between economic growth and
environmental protection is at the heart of global discussions about how to tackle the ever
accelerating climate crisis.

Addressing the opening session of the COP28 climate talks in Dubai on Friday, India’s current
prime minister, Narendra Modi, said all developing countries must be given “a fair share in the
global carbon budget” — the amount of planet-warming carbon pollution the world can emit and
still avoid climate catastrophe.

Even though Earth is now heating up to dangerous levels, many governments around the world
persist with viewing coal, oil and gas as sources of economic development, energy security and
geopolitical power, the UN said this year.

As a result, the world’s fossil fuel production in 2030 is set to be more than twice the amount
needed to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the
goal of the Paris climate agreement, a recent UN Environment Programme report found.

One of the major contributors to that disastrous overshoot will be India, which is burning ever
greater amounts of coal and oil as it tries to meet the needs of its 1.4 billion people. It plans to
double domestic coal production by 2030.

But even as the world’s most populous nation clings to coal with one hand, there are some signs
that it is attempting to chart a more sustainable course with the other.

India has made “significant investments and set ambitious targets for renewable energy,” the
UNEP report said, noting that the world’s fastest growing major economy has earmarked over $4
billion toward energy transition in this year’s national budget.

Other global agencies have also noted India’s growing ambitions in the pursuit of green energy.
The Paris-based International Energy Agency said in a report in October that the country was
“moving into a dynamic new phase in its energy development marked by a long-term net zero
emissions ambition.”

In 2021, Modi pledged India would achieve net zero emissions by 2070, which is still a couple of
decades later than developed economies.

Transforming India’s energy sector, like most things in the country, is going to be chaotic and
muddled, but it will have far-reaching implications for the global energy market and the race to
limit global warming.

3
“India’s net zero by 2070 target, if met in full and on time along with all respective national
targets, will take the world to 1.7 degree Celsius global average surface temperature rise by
2100,” said Siddharth Singh, energy investment analyst at the IEA.

Getting there need not come at the cost of growth. Already there are “early signs of a gradually
loosening link between economic development and carbon emissions,” said Singh.

If the country is able to meet its pledges, its carbon emissions will fall by over 40% by 2050,
even as its GDP quadruples over this period, IEA said in its report.

Modern India is yet to be built.


India is the world’s third-largest energy consuming country, although its energy use and
emissions per person are less than half the world average, IEA data shows.

That could change rapidly. Thanks to rising incomes, energy demand has doubled since 2000,
with 80% of demand still being met by coal, oil and solid biomass. Over the next three decades,
the South Asian nation will see the largest energy demand growth of any country in the world,
the IEA said.

That superlative isn’t surprising as the country is expected to achieve some impressive economic
milestones. The world’s fifth largest economy is comfortably placed to grow at an annual rate of
at least 6% in the coming few years, analysts say, and may become only the third country with
annual GDP of $10 trillion by 2035.

And as it develops and modernizes, its urban population is going to shoot up, leading to a
massive rise in the construction of homes, offices, shops and other buildings.

“India adds the equivalent of a London to its urban population every year for the next 30 years,”
said Singh.

The Modi government is also trying to boost domestic manufacturing and that has unleashed a
building boom, with everything from roads and bridges to ports and railways springing up
around the country.

This infrastructure bonanza will lead to a surge in demand for coal and steel, which are huge
sources of carbon emissions.

Electricity demand is also expected to skyrocket in the coming years because of factors ranging
from improved standards of living to climate change. The latter has been fueling deadly
heatwaves across India, and as a result, air conditioner ownership is set to see a sharp spike in the
coming years.

By 2050, India’s total electricity demand from residential air conditioners is set to exceed the
total energy consumption in the whole of Africa today, the IEA said this year.

Coal accounts for almost 70% of the country’s electricity generation and is not likely to change
in the near future.

4
The future role of fossil fuels is one of the most controversial issues nations are grappling with at
COP28. While some are pushing for a “phase-out,” others are calling for the weaker language of
a “phase-down.”
