India’s Net Zero Blueprint: A People-Centric Vision for an Integrated Energy Future by 2047
Apr 10, 2025
The Ashoka Centre for People-Centric Energy Transition (ACPET) has launched the Final Report of the Approach to Integrated Energy Policy (AIEP) — a landmark effort supported by the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP). This visionary report provides a comprehensive roadmap for India’s transition to a low-carbon future, prioritizing energy security, economic development, and environmental sustainability, while placing citizens at the core of its strategy.
The AIEP covers key domains:
- Energy Demand: Outlines decarbonization strategies across buildings, industry, agriculture, and transport.
- Energy Supply: Reimagines India’s energy mix including coal, oil, gas, renewables, nuclear, electricity, and green hydrogen.
- Integrated Issues: Focuses on vital enablers like governance reforms, technology R&D, carbon financing, and air quality improvements.
- India @2047 Scenarios: Provides projections and alignment plans to meet Net Zero goals through a holistic supply-demand balance.
The report promotes inclusive and market-based mechanisms to steer India’s energy system toward a resilient, climate-smart future. The AIEP represents a people-first framework that integrates policy, innovation, and climate action, offering a clear direction as India progresses toward its 2047 vision.
