India estimates a 24 per cent cut by 2020 in its carbon intensity - the amount of carbon dioxide emitted for each unit of GDP - compared with 2005 levels, according to provisional government figures.
By 2030, it estimates it could achieve a reduction in its carbon emissions by 37 per cent from 2005 levels. The figures were arrived at after an analysis by various government departments.
A senior government official said India's final targets, likely to be presented at next week's global climate change talks in Copenhagen, could reflect a broad range rather than a specific figure.
Government sources said Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh will make a statement in parliament on Thursday in which he could announce the targets.
