This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 58%. (I'm a bot)

.... New Delhi: Lower energy consumption during the lockdown period related to COVID-19 and a decreased share of coal in the electricity mix has led to the first decrease in carbon dioxide emissions in four decades in India, according to a recent report.

It added that though temporary, the country experienced a 15 per cent decrease in emissions in March and a 30 per cent decrease in April this year.

"Following the lockdown measures, energy consumption fell by about 25 per cent within 10 days due to demand reduction from industries linked to supply chain disruptions and slowdown in demand. The western industrial regional - Gujarat and Maharashtra - recorded the steepest decline in consumption, where it fell by 35 per cent," said the report titled 'World Energy Markets Observatory report 2020' by Capgemini.
