India has made stunning progress in recent years, bringing electricity to vast numbers of people & rapidly expanding solar & other renewables

The @IEA report shows India now has a huge opportunity to develop its economy further while avoiding the high-carbon path taken by others
More than any other major economy, India’s energy future depends on buildings & factories yet to be built, and vehicles & appliances yet to be made

Based on India’s current policy settings, nearly 60% of its CO2 emissions in the late 2030s come from things that don’t exist today
India faces a range of evolving energy security challenges.

Based on today’s policy settings, its combined import bill for fossil fuels is projected to triple over the next 20 years, with oil by far the largest component.

Strongly expanding clean energy in India can move it toward lasting prosperity & greater energy security.

It’s a massive project requiring big leaps in innovation & extra investment of $1.4 trillion over the next 20 years. But it would save a similar sum on 🇮🇳's oil import bills
The stakes could not be higher, for India and for the world. All roads to successful global clean energy transitions go via India.

Through our deepening relationship, @IEA is committed to supporting India as it makes its sovereign choices on how to build a brighter energy future
