Cement manufacturing emissions in India have experienced a steep climb in recent decades, and in 2019 reached a high of 144 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO2). However, due to COVID-19, emissions plummeted 14 percent in 2020 to 123 MtCO2. Despite these dramatic reduction, India was the second-largest polluter from cement manufacturing.
