In 2022, India's waste-related methane (CH4) emissions were equivalent to 223 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂e). Since 1990, CH4 emissions from solid waste disposal and wastewater treatment in India have more than doubled.
India had the second highest number of major methane leaks worldwide in 2022. The majority of these events were at waste sites.
