India’s power sector emission could peak before 2030, it fell by 1% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, says study
NEW DELHI: In what could be a positive outcome of India’s growing renewable energy footprint, a new analysis based on official monthly data has shown that the country’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from its power sector fell by 1% year-on-year in the first half of 2025 and by 0.2% over the past 12 months – this is only the second instance of such a drop in almost half a century.
The analysis also indicates that emissions from India’s power sector could peak before 2030 if clean-energy capacity and electricity demand grow as expected.
