India will achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2070, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the COP26 summit in the Scottish city of Glasgow on Monday, spelling out the target for the first time.

The pledge was among five commitments by the Prime Minister at the UN Conference.

"First - India will reach its non-fossil energy capacity to 500 GW by 2030," he said.

"Second - India will meet 50 percent of its energy requirements from renewable energy by 2030," he said.
