Pollution level targets, PM10, PM2.5, SOx, NOx:
To attain WHO standards of air quality in all major cities by 2011–12.
GHG emissions reduction targets:
To attain WHO standards of air quality in all major cities by 2011–12.
Pollution control action plans:
Washing of coal to reduce its ash content and save on transport charges will also be encouraged.
Decarbonization strategy:
The government’s effort will be towards creating an enabling environment for encouraging energy and carbon efficiency in public and private sectors and towards internalizing climate change concerns in development planning.
Carbon markets:
Development and promotion of low carbon and high energy-efficient technologies with reasonable costs will be a priority. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) will be used as an incentive.
Energy-water nexus:
Efforts should be made to ensure that the rural electrification infrastructure thus created does not focus on households alone but is also capable of providing three phase supply which can be used to energize pump sets for agriculture.
