Where Viksit Bharat Meets Green Growth

India needs to harmonize its plans for Viksit Bharat (Developed India) achievement by 2047 with its national commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2070. The process of building energy infrastructure which supports rapid economic growth combined with sustainable green transition remains a crucial task that is challenging to execute. The development of sustainable progress needs green growth integration with economic development according to both recent policies and global cooperation initiatives.

Key Points

1. The Dual Challenge: Economic Growth & Green Transition

• India needs minimum 8% yearly GDP expansion to achieve its Viksit Bharat objective.

• The country plans for near-total emission reduction by 2070 and needs extensive public policy adjustments to reach that goal.

• The economy needs to achieve synchronization between heavy industrial development and renewable energy systems.

2. Green Growth as an Economic Driver

• The current indifferent approach to climate risks threatens to cost India up to 10% of its GDP by 2050 and 2.8% already by 2030.

• Labor productivity losses will reach $220 billion due to extreme heat conditions during the 2030 decade.

• Decarbonisation failure will result in annual export losses of $150 billion throughout the year 2040.

• The transition to green energy systems will result in creating 50 million jobs before 2070 while adding an economic value equivalent to $15 trillion to the economy.

• Through green energy investments India can improve its position in global politics and strengthen its national power resources.

3. Prime Elements for Building a Sustainable Growth Strategy under Policy Requirements

2025 Union Budget Initiatives:

• Expansion of nuclear energy capacity to 100 GW by 2047.

• Investments in solar equipment manufacturing, grid-scale batteries, and critical mineral recycling.

Infrastructure Development:

• The infrastructure development strategy aims at reinforcing renewable energy network systems and deploying carbon capture systems and climate adaptation responses.

• The policy ensures distribution of sustainable energy resources to both the farming community which is 45% of the workforce and MSMEs generating thirty percent of the GDP.

Global Collaborations & Financing:

• The company enters into collaborations with experts who serve as partners for project management and technology development and financing solutions.

• A risk-management plan based on different scenarios needs to be established for economic transformations.

Conclusion

The achievement of a Viksit Bharat and green growth exists in a mutually dependent relationship. Indian prosperity depends on developing both economic growth and environmental sustainability through an approach which combines economic progress with inclusive responsibility for the environment. India will achieve its dual development and climate targets and become a global leader in the green economy by implementing policy reforms at the national level and technological innovations and international partnerships.
