At COP26, Has PM Modi Dragged India Onto Path of Decarbonisation Before It's Ready?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken the COP26 climate talks in Glasgow by storm.

By the end of this decade, he said, India will meet 50% of its energy requirements from renewable energy; the emissions intensity of the country’s GDP will drop by 46-48% from 2005 levels; and that its carbon emissions will be lower by one billion tons.
