In 2025, Balkrishna Industries, headquartered in India, reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 6,757,730,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 83,684,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 3,660,829,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a comprehensive disclosure across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in their climate impact. For the previous year, 2024, the emissions were similarly substantial, with Scope 1 emissions at about 629,185,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 78,216,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 3,660,829,000,000 kg CO2e. The total emissions for Scope 1 and 2 combined were about 707,401,000 kg CO2e. Balkrishna Industries has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as per the latest data, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards for emissions reduction. Overall, while Balkrishna Industries has demonstrated a commitment to disclosing its emissions data, the lack of defined reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate commitments in the coming years.
