India's electricity and heat sector produced the 1.12 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCO2e) in 2020, making it the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions that year. Agriculture was once the largest emitter of GHGs in India, but while emissions from this sector have risen 30 percent since 1990, those from the electricity and heat sector have increased five-fold.
