India has significantly reduced its emission intensity and achieved a decrease of 36% between 2005 and 2020, exceeding the initial target of 20-25%. The Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act 2022 and the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, introduced in 2023, have established a strong foundation featuring a carbon market.
