Analysis
In 2021, change in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances in India stood at 9.13. That is the lowest value across all 32 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 26.6% on the previous year and down 85.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, change in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances in India peaked at 896.93 in 1999 and was at its lowest, 9.13, in 2021.
That places India 34th out of 162 countries with data for 2021, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Consumption of various controlled substances. These include Bromochloromethane (BCM), Carbon Tetrachloride (CTC), Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs), Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Methyl Bromide (MB), Methyl Chloroform (TCA) and Other Fully Halogenated CFCs. This is measured as an index relative to emissions in the year 1986 (1986 = 100).
