The promotion of clean energy, i.e., green energy, in the country will prove to be beneficial. This will clean up the environment and benefit the economy a lot, creating millions of new jobs. India aims to reduce carbon emissions to zero (net zero) by 2070.

  

Due to the ongoing efforts, the capacity of the renewable energy sources here is expected to increase to 500 gigawatts by 2030. According to a World Economic Forum (WEF) description, it will have a significant impact on the economy.

According to the WEF, about 50 million new jobs will be created by green energy in India by the year 2030, while contributing 1 lakh crore (Rs. 74 lakh crore) to the country's GDP growth. In the next nine years, India's carbon density will decrease by 45%. By 2030, total estimated carbon emissions will be reduced by 100 million tons, and 50% of energy needs will come from renewable sources. 

According to WEF Deputy Head of India and South Asia Shriram Gupta, per capita carbon emissions in India are currently very low. Still, given the growing population, it is likely to increase in the future. As a result, India is projected to become the world's first $ 5 trillion off-carbon (green-free) economy. It will also be the world's first $ 1 trillion green economies.

The WEF report, combat-ready in collaboration with Kearney and the Observer Research Foundation, states that 90% of India's carbon emissions come from the five major sectors, such as energy, transport, industry, infrastructure, and agriculture, apart from cities. The use of green energy is more likely to increase, which will create a large number of jobs.
