Key Findings of Study

Transport sector accounted for 14 per cent of total energy-related CO2 emissions in 2020.
- 90 % of which was driven by road transport (Railways 6%, aviation 3%, and waterways 1%)

Energy supply (largest source of emissions – 36% of the total), followed by Industry (25%), Agriculture and LULUCF (18%) Transport sector (14%) and Buildings ( 6.7%).

Carbon dioxide emissions from India’s transport sector could be reduced up to 71 per cent by 2050.
A high emission reduction target in the transport sector would also be pivotal in achieving India’s net-zero target by 2070.
The consumption of fossil fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas, diesel and petrol is expected to quadruple over the next three decades

Recommendations

Decarbonisation of electricity generation could complement the electrification targets in the transport sector.
Electrification, improving fuel economy standards, and switching to cleaner modes of transport and mobility will help in reducing emissions.
