What are the possible limitations of India in mitigating the global warming at present and in the immediate future? 1. Appropriate alternate technologies are not sufficiently available 2. India cannot invest huge funds in research and development 3. Many developed countries have already set up their polluting industries in India Which of the statement given above is/are correct?

Statements 1 and 2 are plausible limitations. India explicitly seeks concessional finance and affordable access to technology under international cooperation, indicating gaps in both technology availability and financing capacity for deep mitigation action [1]. Although India is developing appropriate mitigation and adaptation technologies, the phrasing in sources shows these are under development rather than universally available or deployed at scale, supporting limitation (1) in the immediate term [2]. The national policy framework prioritises focused R&D and clean energy but also implies constrained resources and the need for external support, consistent with limitation (2) about large-scale investment challenges [3]. Statement 3 is not supported by the provided contexts.
