Telangana targets net-zero by 2047, India's first net-zero state goal
Telangana set a goal to become India's first Net-Zero State by 2047 under its 'Telangana Rising 2047' vision, targeting 40 GW of renewable capacity by 2035 and a 95% cut in oil demand. The blueprint unlocks up to Rs. 2 lakh crore in clean energy investment and signals a replicable sub-national model for India's green transition.
Telangana aims to become India's first Net-Zero State by 2047 under its 'Telangana Rising 2047' vision, integrating green infrastructure and circular economy with economic growth. Guided by the Telangana Clean and Green Energy Policy 2025, the state plans to add 20 GW of renewables by 2030 and reach 40 GW by 2035 from a current ~9 GW base, across solar, wind, floating solar and green hydrogen. This is expected to unlock up to Rs. 2 lakh crore in investment and generate over one lakh green jobs.
Renewable developers, EV manufacturers, charging infrastructure providers and recycling firms are directly affected. The state targets a 95% reduction in oil demand by 2047 with a full shift to electric and hydrogen transport, backed by a 100% road tax waiver for EVs and plans to scale 1,036 public EV charging stations to 6,000 by 2030 and 12,000 by 2035. A forthcoming Circular Economy Policy addresses sewage (58.3%), plastics (54%) and construction waste (13.58%) treatment gaps, building on recycling rates of 76.88% municipal and 88.5% e-waste.
Affected entities should monitor the proposed Net Zero State Authority and the Green Energy and Carbon Transition Fund, which will channel carbon revenues and green finance into climate-smart development. Developers should track the drafting of the dedicated Circular Economy Policy promoting reuse, refurbishing and eco-design. Investors can pursue opportunities tied to the 5,600 MW of hybrid and biogas projects that secured Rs. 29,000 crore, and pumped storage projects, as Telangana couples a $3 trillion economy target by 2047 with its net-zero goal.
