Pachauri, Director General of TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute), was a member of the Council since its inception in 2007 during the tenure of Manmohan Singh.
Modi had re-nominated him to the Council last year.
After the sexual harassment charges were levelled against him last week, Pachauri went on leave from TERI and quit Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
