Short summary
India poses a significant methane emission burden, but limited observations challenge accurate national estimations. This study combines satellite retrievals, ground measurements, and models to improve India’s 2018–2019 methane budget. Derived emissions are higher than national reports but lower than global inventories. The findings highlight the potential of satellite instruments to report emissions accurately. Expanded methane monitoring is vital for meeting climate change mitigation targets.
