- Current: Less than 1% of India’s population lives in areas that meet World Health Organisation air quality guidelines
- Future: If stringent air pollution regulations are in place, this could increase to almost 10% by 2040, as per the International Energy Agency (IEA)
- Scenario: Housing over 16% of the world’s population but using only 6% of energy, India’s energy use is bound to rise
- India is taking important steps to tackle air pollution with policies that are in place and those that have been announced, but much more can be done
