New Delhi (dpa) - India pledged to cut the intensity of its carbon emissions over the next 15 years and make its economy more energy efficient as it became the last major country to submit targets for a global climate pact.

The world's third-largest carbon emitter said it would target a 40-per-cent installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030.

"India intends to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 per cent by 2030 from the 2005 level," according to a paper submitted to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change overnight.

India had already reduced its carbon intensity by 12 per cent since 2005, the 38-page document said.
