India power sector emissions by source 2023

India's power sector emissions increased almost eight percent in 2023 to reach a record high of 1.4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e). Coal power accounted for roughly 95 percent of this total, at 1.34 GtCO₂e. Since 2000, power sector emissions in India have more than tripled.
