Petrol: 2.31 kg CO₂ per litre. Diesel: 2.68 kg/L. CNG: 1.95 kg/m³. For EVs, emissions depend on your grid’s carbon intensity (India ≈ 0.7, EU ≈ 0.25, Nordic ≈ 0.05 kg CO₂ / kWh).

Reference
A typical Indian mid-size sedan (16 km/L petrol) over 15,000 km/year emits ~2.2 tonnes CO₂.
An EV charged on the Indian grid (0.7 kg/kWh) at 6 km/kWh emits ~1.75 tonnes/year for the same distance — ~20% less.
On a renewable-heavy grid (0.1 kg/kWh) the same EV drops to ~250 kg/year.
