Analysis
In 2023, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions (co2eq) in India stood at 197,064 kt.
The figure is down 0.4% on the previous year and up 20.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions (co2eq) in India peaked at 197,809 kt in 2022 and was at its lowest, 31,520 kt, in 1990.
That places India 5th out of 246 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
