Defence Research & Development Organisation's reported carbon emissions

The Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), headquartered in India, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor specific reduction targets or climate commitments outlined in their initiatives. Without concrete figures or defined goals, it is challenging to assess their current impact on carbon emissions or their strategic approach to climate change. In the context of the defence sector, organisations like DRDO are increasingly recognising the importance of sustainability and are expected to align with global climate standards. However, without specific data or commitments, it remains unclear how DRDO is addressing its carbon footprint or contributing to broader climate action efforts.
