India's Industrial Emissions Could Triple By 2050, Or Fall By 65%
India’s industrial sector contributes nearly 30% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions—and without additional decarbonisation measures, these emissions could triple by 2050.
But the story is more nuanced than just rising emissions.
Under a Net Zero-aligned pathway, industrial emissions could fall significantly. At the same time, the nature of emissions itself begins to change: energy-related emissions decline with cleaner fuels, while hard-to-abate process emissions become a growing challenge.
By 2050, sectors like cement and chemicals could account for the bulk of these process emissions, highlighting where future innovation and policy attention will be most critical.
