World Data Lab, this figure is forecast to increase up to 7.4 GtCO₂e by 2050 under a business as usual scenario –
that is a scenario without drastic deviations in technology advancement or policy-making from past experiences. On the other hand, if the country and sectors are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5 degree Celsius, India's emissions would drop to approximately one GtCO₂e by the year 2050.
India emitted about four billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e) worth of greenhouse gases in 2022. According to Projected greenhouse gas emissions in India from 2022 to 2050, by scenario (in billion tons of CO₂ equivalent)
