India's Power Sector Sees Emission Drop in H1 2025

India's Power Sector Sees Emission Drop in H1 2025

In India, the amount of pollution from the power sector went down for the first time in many years (besides the pandemic).

This is because India used more clean energy sources, like solar and wind, and used less coal due to the cooler weather.

Overall, emissions from India's power sector fell.

However, some sectors, like steel and cement, still increased their emissions.

This decline shows progress in reducing pollution, which is key to addressing climate change.
