Power-sector carbon dioxide emissions in India stayed flat from the first half of 2024 to the same period in 2026.
A surge in clean energy was cited as the reason the sector avoided growth in emissions.
The report says this is the first time in over fifty years that coal power has not grown over a two-year period.
Total national emissions still rose by 3.7 percent year-on-year in early 2026.
That increase came from other sectors such as steel and cement, while oil and gas consumption declined.
A quick read on shared facts, changing details, and different emphasis.
The reporting broadly agrees that a clean-energy surge kept India’s power-sector emissions flat over two years, despite rising electricity demand. It also agrees that national emissions still increased because other sectors added emissions.
The main figures reported here could be revised if the underlying analysis is updated, especially the two-year comparison and the national emissions estimate. The relative contributions of power, industry, and fuel use may also shift as newer data become available.

The analysis says India’s clean-energy surge kept power-sector carbon dioxide emissions flat over two years. It describes the result as the first period in over fifty years without coal power growth across a two-year span. It also notes that broader national emissions still rose, driven by increases in steel and cement. The report adds that oil and gas consumption fell.

According to an analysis published by Carbon Brief and conducted by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, India's power sector carbon dioxide emissions remained flat from the first half of 2024 to the same period in 2026 due to a surge in clean energy. The report states that this marks the first time in over fifty years that coal power has not grown over a two-year period despite rising electricity demand. However, total national emissions still grew by 3.7 percent year-on-year in early 2026 due to increases from sectors such as steel and cement.
An analysis reports that a surge in clean energy has kept carbon dioxide emissions flat across India's power sector from the first half of 2024 to the first half of 2026. The findings indicate that this is the first period in over fifty years with no growth in coal power over two years, even as overall electricity demand increased. Nevertheless, national emissions rose due to increases in industrial sectors like steel and cement, while oil and gas consumption experienced declines.
