In 2023, emissions of nitrous oxides (N₂O) in India increased 1.7 percent year-on-year to a new high of 289 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. India's nitrous oxide emissions have almost doubled since 1990. The main source of nitrous oxide emissions in India is the agriculture sector.
