India has undertaken numerous response measures that are contributing to the objectives of
the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). India's development
plans balance economic development and environmental concerns. The planning process is
guided by the principles of sustainable development. Reforms in the energy and power
sector have accelerated economic growth and enhance the efficiency of energy use. These
have been complemented by notable initiatives taken by the private sector.In the last few years several measures relating to environmental
issues have been introduced. They have targeted increasing significantly, the capacity of
renewable energy installations; improving the air quality in major cities (the world's
largest fleet of vehicles fuelled by compressed natural gas has been introduced in New
Delhi); and enhancing afforestation. Other similar measures have been implemented by
committing additional resources and realigning new investments, thus putting economic
development on a climate-friendly path.
