The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual reduction in carbon dioxide emissions per unit of manufacturing value added in India. The value stands at 1.38 kilograms of CO2 per USD in 2024 and is projected to decrease to 1.33 by 2028. This indicates a commendable effort towards decarbonization in the manufacturing sector, with consistent improvements in efficiency. Over this period, annual percentage reductions show a steady decline without abrupt changes, reflecting sustained progress in emission control strategies.
Key trends to watch include advancements in clean technology adoption, regulatory changes influencing manufacturing practices, and shifts in energy sourcing towards renewable options. These factors are crucial in maintaining and potentially accelerating the decrease in emission intensity beyond 2028. Monitoring these trends will be essential for understanding the sustainability of industrial growth in India.
