In 2023, India's agriculture sector released 20 million metric tons of methane into the atmosphere. This accounted for around 70 percent of India's total methane emissions that year. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential roughly 30 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.
