In 2023, emissions of nitrous oxides (N₂O) in India increased 1.7 percent year-on-year to a new high of 289 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. India's nitrous oxide emissions have almost doubled since 1990. The main source of nitrous oxide emissions in India is the agriculture sector.
Annual nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in India from 1990 to 2023
(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
Includes nitrous oxide emissions from fossil fuels, industry and agricultural sources.
Nitrous oxide emissions are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e), so are weighted for its 100-year global warming potential value.
