A Quarter of Indian Companies Missed Emissions Data Filing Deadline

Imagine big companies in India have to tell everyone how much pollution they make, like how much their factories and cars release.

This is part of a new rule to help the environment.

Most companies filed the basic report, but about one-fourth didn't share all the important pollution numbers.

Even for the companies that did share, they didn't always share all the details, especially about pollution from making their products or how their customers use them.

This makes it hard to know the full picture of pollution from all companies.

Experts say we need to make sure the information shared is correct and complete, and that we might need other ways to track pollution from more companies or different types of companies.
