This paper decomposes the total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the manufacturing sector of India during the period 2009-10 to 2017-18 into factors, such as output growth, structural changes, energy intensity changes and fuel mix changes using the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method. It finds that while a reduction in energy intensity and structural changes in manufacturing activities have led to an overall reduction in CO2 emissions, growth in output and changing fuel mix have contributed to higher emissions. The dominance of coal and coal-powered electricity in fuel consumption remains the most significant cause of CO2 emissions in India, warranting a sustained policy thrust on renewable sources of energy for faster green transition.
