Impressive considering electricity demand is growing at 6%, all that growth is now being covered by renewables. The rapid adoption of EVs means oil for transport is in decline, though still increasing in use as a chemical feedstock.

In other major areas of the world, the EU & US, C02 emissions have started to decline, too, but not yet in India.

Analysis: China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months
