Year-on-Year Implementation Targets for the Rajapalayam Decarbonisation Action Plan
The following table presents the annual and cumulative implementation targets for the key mitigation interventions proposed under
the Rajapalayam Decarbonisation Action Plan to support the district’s transition toward net zero emissions.
Emissions are represented in ktCO2e. 2026 values include targets achieved in previous years as well.
In case of transport, EV share in new sales is year on year only. There is no cumulative target.
