Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in India increased by 2.6 percent in 2023, to 3.96 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e). The power sector accounted for roughly one-third of India's GHG emissions that year. Projections show that India's emissions increased a further 0.5 percent in 2024 to a new record high. GHG emissions in India have risen by almost 25 percent since 2015.
