India is a Party to the Montreal Protocol and has ratified the Kigali Amendment on hydrofluorocarbons

Background

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer is an international environmental treaty for protection of the Ozone Layer by phasing out the production and consumption of man-made chemicals referred to as ozone depleting substances (ODS).
India became a Party to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer on 19 June 1992 and has since ratified the amendments to the Protocol.
The Kigali Amendment was agreed at the 28th Meeting of the Parties (MOP) held in October 2016 in Kigali, Rwanda, which added hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to the list of controlled substances and approved a timeline for their gradual reduction by 80-85 per cent by the late 2040s.
The Union Cabinet approved ratification of the Kigali Amendment by India, with a national strategy for HFC phase down to be developed after consultation with industry stakeholders by 2023.
India will complete its phase down of HFCs in 4 steps from 2032 onwards with cumulative reduction of 10% in 2032, 20% in 2037, 30% in 2042 and 85% in 2047.
The HFC phase down is expected to prevent the emission of up to 105 million tonne of carbondioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases, helping to avoid up to 0.5 degree Celsius of global temperature rise by 2100.
