According to the NITI Aayog study titled 'Prospects towards Developed India and Net Zero', by which target year does India aim to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions?
2070
Net Zero refers to a state where the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere is balanced by the amount removed from it. Nations worldwide have set target years to achieve Net Zero as part of their climate commitments under the Paris Agreement.
At the COP26 Glasgow summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India would aim to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2070. The NITI Aayog study 'Prospects towards Developed India and Net Zero' reaffirmed 2070 as India's target year.
Hence, the correct answer is 2070.
