In a recent paper, Shearer et al. have argued that the future emissions from India’s coal plants would exceed the country’s climate commitments in the sector. They suggest that this would threaten the goal of limiting warming to below 1.5°C. The conclusions as presented in Shearer et al. are misleading. We demonstrate that they have projected an unlikely scenario, without exploring the more likely alternate scenarios proposed by India’s official new Draft National Electricity Plan.
