While ministers highlight solar capacity milestones, 42,626 MW of renewable power sits unused due to funding gaps. Meanwhile, 48% more people died from extreme weather in 2025; but Parliament barely asked about cloudbursts or heatwave deaths. Why? Because data is ‘not available’; and accountability gets lost. Opposition MPs push for implementation; ruling party MPs celebrate targets. But neither side talks about global climate finance or planetary boundaries. The real story? India’s climate debate is stuck in targets, not truth. What happens when policy meets reality? That’s the question Parliament isn’t asking enough.
