This study evaluates options by which the Indian economy can move towards an inclusive green growth paradigm of development. It combines the rigorous scientific and economic studies done at the national and state levels (Punjab and Himachal Pradesh). The objective of this analysis is to understand the impact in India of energy-related green growth interventions on future energy demand, emissions, energy access, energy security, and development indicators.
In order to understand these inter-linkages, an integrated modelling framework has been used. This integrated modelling framework was used to conduct scenario analysis around the following green growth interventions:
- Energy efficiency and conservation measures in energy demand sectors (agriculture, transport, industry sector, commercial building, and residential sectors);
- Enhancement of modern energy access;
- Promotion of clean energy supply through renewables and cleaner fossil-fuel–based energy generation technology; and
- Resource (soil and water) conservation in the agriculture sector.
