The workshop builds on NITI Aayog’s long-term scenario analysis, which is anchored in India’s dual ambition of rapid economic growth and deep decarbonisation. Through a systems thinking lens, the participants discussed the cross-sectoral implications of climate action in terms of macroeconomic outcomes, resource use, and investment flows. The proceedings highlight the scale of the transition and the central role of the power sector in driving economy-wide change. They underscore risks of carbon lock-in, uneven regional and labour impacts, and rising pressures on land, water, and critical minerals. Persistent barriers, including data gaps, institutional constraints, and underutilised finance, further complicate implementation. Overall, the discussions emphasise the need for coordinated, systems-driven planning, stronger financial and governance frameworks, and a just, resource-efficient approach to India’s low-carbon transition.
