Who is on track

India and the six states on the five indicators that can be compared fairly

Pick a column to compare it below; pick a state to filter.

On trackBehindNo plan or baseline year

Not compared here: 1 (India only, modelled), 5 and 6 (national storage), 2B (jumps too much in small states), 7, 7A and 8 (programme counts), and 2 in GW (state sizes differ too much, so growth is used instead).

    Out of every 100 units, how many are clean? Power plants on the left, the electricity they actually produce on the right.

    National indicator. The story is shown for India.

    Storage lets solar power be used after sunset. Each square is 1% of all storage ordered since 2023 (batteries and pumped hydro).

    By law, power companies must buy a rising share of clean power. The dashed line is what the law requires; the solid line is what they actually bought (proxy values until official BEE figures arrive).

    National indicator. The goal is set for India as a whole.

    The headline goal: on track in the models, not yet measured

    SuCRIT's goal is an extra ~15% cut in emissions per rupee of GDP by 2030, beyond what India would cut anyway. Modelling says 21.7%, but no measured figure exists until India's next climate report (BTR).

    Beyond the power numbers, SuCRIT tracks money raised for clean projects (Indicators 7 and 7A) and ideas that one state copies from another (Indicator 8). Counted up to Sept 2026.
