Release of Corruption Perceptions Index 2024
What Happened
Transparency International released the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2024 on February 11, 2025. India's rank slipped to 96th with a score of 38 out of 100, while the global average remained stagnant at 43. The report specifically linked high corruption levels to the failure of international climate action initiatives.
Why It Matters
India's declining score signals persistent challenges in public-sector integrity, which can deter foreign investment and hamper the effective implementation of large-scale climate and development projects.
