India says will not agree to emissions caps

Asia’s third-largest economy said on Thursday it will not agree to binding cuts to greenhouse gases under the Kyoto Protocol, but hopes boosting its nuclear industry will save its cities from choking air pollution.

Speaking after the first meeting of a climate change group created by six of the world’s top polluters, Indian Environment Minister A. Raja told Reuters on Thursday that India would accept help to reduce emissions but would not be forced into cuts.
