In 2022, the total emissions were approximately 1,375,091,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1) and 14,537,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), leading to a combined total of about 3,778,340,190 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2.

Despite these figures, Oil India Limited has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests a need for enhanced focus on sustainability and emissions reduction strategies within the organisation. As the company continues to operate in a carbon-intensive industry, addressing these emissions will be crucial for aligning with global climate goals.
