Analysis
The most recent figure for co2 emissions and gdp in India is 14.70 trillion, measured in 2025. That is the highest value across all 36 years on record.
That represents a change of up 7.6% on the previous year and up 75.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co2 emissions and gdp in India peaked at 14.70 trillion in 2025 and was at its lowest, 1.85 trillion, in 1990.
That places India 3rd out of 198 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
