Figures refer to emissions under a business as usual scenario without drastic deviations in technology advancement or policy-making from past experiences. While there is typically still some technological progress in the form of reducing emissions intensities (stemming e.g. from energy efficiency gains) that are partly a result of policy actions, this scenario does not take into account announced policy pledges.

Projected GHG emissions in India 2022-2050, by sector
The energy sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in India, having generated some *** billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCOâ‚‚e) in 2022. By the year 2050, this figure is forecast to more than double and reach *** GtCOâ‚‚e. In fact, according to , emissions across most sectors are projected to grow in the upcoming decades if no advancement in reducing emissions intensities is made.
