India Could Cut 65% of Industrial Emissions by 2050
India's industrial sector accounts for nearly 30% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions. Without additional decarbonisation measures, these emissions could triple by 2050.
A Net Zero-aligned pathway could significantly alter this trajectory. Under such a scenario, the sector could cut 65% of its annual emissions by 2050, with the majority of reductions driven by cleaner energy sources. However, as energy-related emissions decline, process emissions, those generated through chemical and physical transformations during production, are expected to constitute a growing share of remaining industrial emissions.
This infographic traces how the composition of India's industrial emissions could shift over time, and why targeted technologies, innovation, and policy support will be critical to achieving deep industrial decarbonisation.
