Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in India stood at 3,154 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 4.6% on the previous year and up 40.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in India peaked at 3,154 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 212.8 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places India 3rd out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
