Article 4 of the Paris Agreement provides that each Party shall communicate or update its NDC every five years. 5. India’s revised NDCs are: To reduce the Emissions Intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030, from the 2005 level. Hence, statement 1 is correct. To achieve about 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030, with the help of the transfer of technology and low-cost international finance, including from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). Hence, statement 2 is correct.
