India still generates the bulk of its electricity from coal (around 70 % of actual generation in 2024–25), so Statement I is true. ([economictimes.indiatimes.com](https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/renewables/paradox-of-indias-energy-transition-coal-phase-out-or-renewables-phase-in/articleshow/121356341.cms?utm_source=openai)) However, there is no constitutional or statutory requirement that at least 60 % of power *must* come from coal; in fact the share is falling and targets favour more renewables. Thus Statement II is false. Therefore option (c) is correct.
