Key Insights
Private Plants Drive More Emissions
Private plants contribute disproportionately higher emissions, primarily attributable to larger installed capacity, rather than differential regulatory treatment.
LPG Substitution and Rail Electrification
Progress in kerosene to LPG substitution and railway electrification is evident, while road transport continues to present unresolved challenges.
Transport Fuel Use Still Rising
Despite rising EV uptake, transport fuel consumption keeps climbing, suggesting ICE vehicle sales still outpace EV sales.
