Indigo's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, IndiGo reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,414,458,310 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 12,427,970 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a significant increase in emissions compared to 2023, where emissions were approximately 6,789,520,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 4,445,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The data indicates that IndiGo has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions. IndiGo's emissions data is sourced from InterGlobe Aviation Limited, the parent company, and does not include any cascaded data from other corporate entities. The airline has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The airline's emissions per Available Seat Kilometre (ASK) for 2024 were reported at approximately 0.0605 kg CO2e, while the GHG emissions per Revenue Ton Kilometre (RTK) stood at about 1.38 kg CO2e. These metrics provide insight into the efficiency of IndiGo's operations in relation to its carbon footprint. Overall, while IndiGo has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of reduction targets and Scope 3 emissions data suggests that there is room for improvement in its climate commitments and overall sustainability strategy.
