Analysis
The most recent figure for cumulative co₂ emissions, annual growth rate in India is 5.08 % change on previous year, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.8% on the previous year and down 11.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions, annual growth rate in India peaked at 161.35 % change on previous year in 1859 and was at its lowest, 2.91 % change on previous year, in 1948.
That places India 25th out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in Cumulative CO₂ emissions. Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- Cumulative CO₂ emissions Global Carbon Budget (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
