Analysis
The most recent figure for co2 emissions by sector (mt co2 eq) - total including lucf in India is 2,400, measured in 2018. That is the highest value across all 29 years on record.
That represents a change of up 5.9% on the previous year and up 68.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co2 emissions by sector (mt co2 eq) - total including lucf in India peaked at 2,400 in 2018 and was at its lowest, 341.32, in 1990.
That places India 3rd out of 189 countries with data for 2018, 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
Total CO2 emissions (including LUCF) are generated from the World Resource Institute's Climate Watch. Climate Watch Historical Emission data contains sector-level greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data for 194 countries and the European Union (EU) for the period 1990-2018, including emissions of the six major GHGs from most major sources and sinks. Non-CO2 emissions are expressed in CO2 equivalents using 100-year global warming potential values from IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. Climate Watch Historical GHG Emissions data (previously published through CAIT Climate Data Explorer) are derived from several sources. Any use of the Land-Use Change and Forestry or Agriculture indicator should be cited as FAO 2020, FAOSTAT Emissions Database. Any use of CO2 emissions from fuel combustion data should be cited as CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, OECD/IEA, 2020.
