India's leading energy official, Anil Swarup, the Coal Secretary, says India has to depend on what is available, with slow progress on nuclear power there is not much else. As India increases its growth rate to 7-8% India will increasingly be dependent on coal. The Modi government plans to double coal production. About 300 million people in India have no access to electricity. The country faces energy shortages in other areas. Even with a push for renewable solar and wind energy, coal is expected to provide 60% of energy needs in India in 2030. One government model shows solar and wind increasing from 6% to 18% by 2030. India points to per capita emissions which are 1.7 for India, 6.2 for China, and 17.6 for the U.S., according to the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center.

India cites per capita carbon emissions which are about 1.7 for India, 6.2 for China, and 17.6 for the U.S. With about a fourth of the population without access to electricity and power shortages in other areas, India plans to use coal with plants designed for lower emissions, maintain filtration plants for water, and other antipollution measures.
