Explanation:

Net zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are achieved when anthropogenic CO2 emissions are balanced by anthropogenic CO2 removals over a specified period. Net zero CO2 emissions are also referred to as carbon neutrality.
India’s Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs):

To reduce the emissions intensity of GDP by 33%–35% by 2030 below 2005 levels;
To increase the share of non-fossil-based energy resources to 40% of installed electric power capacity by 2030, with help of transfer of technology and low-cost international finance including from Green Climate Fund (GCF);
To create an additional (cumulative) carbon sink of 2.5–3 GtCO2e through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.

Hence only statement 1st is correct.
