	abstract = {This paper considers options for a future Indian power economy in which renewables, wind and solar, could meet 80\% of anticipated 2040 power demand supplanting the country{\textquoteright}s current reliance on coal. Using a cost optimization model, here we show that renewables could provide a source of power cheaper or at least competitive with what could be supplied using fossil-based alternatives. The ancillary advantage would be a significant reduction in India{\textquoteright}s future power sector related emissions of CO<sub>2</sub>. Using a model in which prices for wind turbines and solar PV systems are assumed to continue their current decreasing trend, we conclude that an investment in renewables at a level consistent with meeting 80\% of projected 2040 power demand could result in a reduction of 85\% in emissions of CO<sub>2</sub>\&nbsp;relative to what might be expected if the power sector were to continue its current coal dominated trajectory.},
