Which of the following statements is/are correct about India's green energy targets?
1. ONGC Green has set a plan to achieve 10 GW green energy capacity by 2030.
2. ONGC Green and IIM Nagpur have signed an MoU which aims to contribute to India's overall goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
Select the answer using the codes given below:
A.1 only✓ Correct
B.2 only
C.Both 1 and 2
D.Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation
ONGC Green Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ONGC, has set a target of achieving 10 GW of renewable/green energy capacity by 2030 as part of its decarbonization strategy — hence statement 1 is correct. However, India's net zero emissions target is 2070 (announced by PM Modi at COP26 in Glasgow), not 2050. Hence statement 2 is incorrect as it misstates the year of India's net zero goal.
