PowerGrid has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 but has not reported any Scope 3 emissions. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The emissions intensity for Scope 1 and Scope 2 per rupee of turnover was approximately 0.000751 INR in 2024, reflecting the company's operational efficiency in relation to its revenue. PowerGrid's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, ensuring that the reported figures are solely from its own operations. Overall, while PowerGrid has made strides in managing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action in the future.
