Madhya Pradesh
Central India's largest state spanning 30.8 million hectares, running on rain-fed agriculture and forest-based livelihoods (forest area 8.694 Million ha). Average annual rainfall is 1,027 mm with sharp east-west variability — Hoshangabad highest, Barwani lowest. The Narmada, Chambal, Betwa, Son and Wainganga basins drain a vulnerable plateau where heat extremes, drought and shifting monsoons compound climate-economy stress.

About Madhya Pradesh SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Madhya Pradesh's SAPCC v2.0 updates the first edition that was formulated in 2012-13 and released in 2014. It is led by the Department of Environment with the State Knowledge Management Centre on Climate Change (SKMCCC) at EPCO — the State Designated Agency — as nodal technical body. The plan organises climate response across nine sectors aligned with NAPCC missions and 12 guiding principles including NDC/SDG alignment.
Climate profile
- Average annual rainfall 1,027 mm over 1951–2013 with 531.9–1,681.1 mm range; SW monsoon (June–Sep) contributes about 91% of annual rainfall.
- South-eastern districts (Hoshangabad, Dindori, Anuppur, Jabalpur, Balaghat, Mandla) receive heaviest rainfall; western and northern districts get <1,000 mm.
- Vulnerability Assessment uses CORDEX RCP 4.5/8.5 over mid-century (2021–50) and end-century (2071–2100); composite vulnerability improves towards end-century under RCP 4.5.
Climate stress at a glance
- Total state emissions rose from 99.3 MtCO₂e (2005) to 173.3 MtCO₂e (2015) — CAGR 5.7%, total +74.5%; energy sector dominates, followed by AFOLU.
- Forest area 8.694 Million ha (gross cropped 26.115 Million ha) supports tribal NTFP livelihoods — projected forest dieback in vulnerable districts under both RCPs.
- Coal-based thermal contributes 51.4% of 8,539 MW installed capacity; transport, residential biomass (93.8% rural) and AFOLU drive rising emissions.
