In 2023, Oil India Limited reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 2,006,704,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 16,198,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a continuation of their emissions profile, as in 2022, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 1,360,555,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 14,537,000 kg CO2e in India. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions for 2023, but in 2022, their global Scope 3 emissions were reported at about 18,962,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a focus on direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2) while lacking comprehensive data on indirect emissions. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Oil India Limited has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction initiatives or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Overall, Oil India Limited's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced transparency and commitment to climate action, particularly in setting measurable reduction targets to align with global climate goals.
