This article looks into the contribution of the power industry to the distribution of CO_2 emissions in India, a concern in climate change conversations. The sectorwise analysis from the year 1970 to 2022 reflects that the emissions of the power industry have enhanced from 15.4 to 46% in total samples of PSY and total samples of SCI, respectively. 6% due to the growing use of electricity in the transportation sector, agricultural consumers, domestic consumers, industries and commercial and others. The phenomenon of backward linkages describes their relation to the electricity industry that, in effect, bolsters the emission levels. A speedy transition to electric personal vehicles and making Indian Railways electric has reduced emissions in their respective fields while, at the same time, rising electricity demand has been fulfilled with thermal power generation, primarily through coal, thereby increasing CO_2 emission. The backward linkage method helps regulatory bodies to measure scope 2 more effectively. In line with the recommendations given in the article, there is still the requirement for an increased and more comprehensive policy agenda that includes promoting both renewable energy and energy efficiency, as well as supporting sustainable practices to a greater extent.
