Abstract: Abstract This chapter evaluates individual and combined impacts of three topical national level energy policy interventions on nine states of India by 2030. (i) Increase in renewable generation capacity of up to 450 GW (ii) Reduction in emission intensity of GDP by 33–35% (iii) Rationalization of electricity cross subsidies across consumer categories. The analysis further extends to assess economic recovery potential of these interventions under prevailing COVID 19 constrained economic scenarios. We find that integrated impacts of these interventions will have disproportionate distributive Impacts at regional level. Moving ahead without creating greater synergies between national-level policies that promote renewable capacity scale up, energy efficiency and subsidy rationalizationSubsidy rationalization, the requisite environmental performance aspired for fulfilling Nationally Determined CommitmentsNationally Determined Commitments (NDCs) cannot be achieved by India.
