India's carbon paradox: Big emitter but small per-capita footprint
India's greenhouse gas emissions have grown 3.6 per cent a year since 1990. That is more than twice the global rate of 1.5 per cent. Even so, India's emissions per person remain small. For a business owner, this mix matters: fast-growing emissions usually invite more attention and reporting pressure. So it is wise to track your energy use and fuel bills now.
Key Statutory Highlights
- India's greenhouse gas emissions have grown at a compound annual rate of 3.6 per cent since 1990.
- That growth is more than twice the global rate of 1.5 per cent.
- India is a big emitter overall, but its per-capita carbon footprint is small.
