Sunkonnect Targets 200 Million Tonnes CO₂ Reduction to Support India’s 2030 Climate Goals

As the Government of India charts a bold course to reduce the nation’s carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030, a core pillar of its commitment under the Paris Agreement, renewable energy advisory firm, Sunkonnect has announced a plan to help eliminate up to 200 million tonnes of Carbon dioxide (CO₂) within the same timeframe. This initiative aligns with and contributes to 20 percent of the government’s target, making Sunkonnect a significant private sector partner in the country’s national mission for a low-carbon future.

India’s vision for sustainable growth places a strong emphasis on greening infrastructure, transforming energy use and fostering climate resilience in both established metros and rapidly growing tier II and tier III cities. While much of the country’s early green building and decarbonisation efforts were focused on metro areas, Sunkonnect is now accelerating the government’s vision by bringing advanced consulting, digital energy management and international certification expertise into emerging urban centres and industrial hubs where the next wave of growth and emissions will occur. 

Dr Avishek Kumar, Founder, Sunkonnect, said, “Infrastructure development in our country’s fast-growing cities presents both a challenge and an opportunity. At Sunkonnect, we believe the road to net zero must be paved with actionable insights, robust technology and real partnerships. By aligning our work with the government’s vision and focusing on the regions and sectors where progress is just beginning, we hope to help India achieve not only its climate goals, but a resilient and prosperous future for all.”

Sunkonnect supports facility owners, real estate developers, MSMEs and academic institutions with greenhouse gas accounting and reporting, climate consulting and net zero roadmaps tailored to India’s regulatory frameworks and global best practices. By enabling clients to achieve IGBC, WELL, LEED and other top certifications and deploying AI-powered building management and IoT-driven energy optimisation, Sunkonnect quotes to help Indian businesses deliver up to 25 percent energy savings and reduce operational costs by as much as 40 percent.

Rohit Kumar Sikkewal, Sustainability and Climate Change Solution Expert at Sunkonnect said, “Sunkonnect recently acted as a carbon-neutral partner for the Foundation for MSME Clusters (FMC) at the 9th PMO Awards, calculating and offsetting all event-related emissions through credible carbon credits. This approach exemplifies how public and private sector collaboration can mainstream climate action, foster responsible growth and strengthen India’s leadership on the global sustainability stage.”

Sunkonnect’s vision extends beyond consultancy to knowledge-sharing and capacity building. Through proprietary research, on-ground surveys and continuous engagement with industry leaders and policymakers, the company is helping to raise awareness and build consensus around environmental challenges in key sectors such as steel, infrastructure and hospitality, areas identified by the government as critical to meeting India’s climate goals.

With multiple projects underway across commercial buildings, academic institutions and MSME clusters and new initiatives on the horizon, Sunkonnect is poised to help accelerate India’s national sustainability mission. The company’s plans to expand its climate and sustainability solutions into a dedicated entity further underscore its commitment to measurable, sector-wide impact.
