India: 490 plants have emission-intensity targets, but no carbon credit has traded yet
India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme sets each plant a greenhouse gas intensity target per tonne of product. Plants that beat it earn tradable credits; plants that miss it must buy them. Targets now cover 490 entities, and the trading rules are in place, but trading is expected only from 2026-27.
In brief
The Carbon Credit Trading Scheme was notified on 28 June 2023. It sets each obligated plant a greenhouse gas emission intensity target in tCO2e per tonne of product, against a 2023-24 baseline, for the compliance years 2025-26 and 2026-27.
Targets cover 490 entities (the Press Information Bureau total of 22 January 2026): 282 in aluminium, cement, chlor-alkali and pulp & paper from October 2025, and 208 in refineries, petrochemicals, textiles and secondary aluminium from January 2026. A June 2026 draft would add 255 iron and steel entities.
A plant that misses its target must buy Carbon Credit Certificates (1 per tCO2e); otherwise it pays environmental compensation of twice the average traded price, within 90 days.
CERC's trading rules of 27 February 2026 set monthly trading on power exchanges within a floor and forbearance price band. No band and no trade had been published in the official texts we read as of 12 November 2026.

How it works
How a plant meets its target each compliance year.
How the compliance mechanism works
- Step 1
Target set
An annual intensity target per tonne of product, against a 2023-24 baseline, for a 3-year trajectory.
- Step 2
Measure and verify
Direct and purchased-energy emissions are reported and checked by an accredited verifier.
- Step 3
Credits or shortfall
(Target − achieved intensity) × output: beat it and receive credits, miss it and owe that many.
- Step 4
Trade monthly
Credits change hands on power exchanges; extra credits can be banked for later years.
- Step 5
Penalty if short
Environmental compensation of 2× the average traded price, payable within 90 days.

Scope
Targets are set plant by plant, for industries moved over from the earlier PAT energy-saving scheme.

Frequently asked questions
Has India's carbon market started trading?
Not in the official records we read up to 12 November 2026. The Ministry of Power said in March 2025 that compliance trading is expected to begin in 2026-27, and BEE's trading procedure was still a draft in October 2026.
How many companies must meet targets?
490 obligated entities after January 2026: 282 from October 2025 and 208 added on 13 January 2026. The 282 is the first notification (G.S.R. 739(E), October 2025, four sectors); the 490 is the total the Press Information Bureau gave on 22 January 2026, after the 13 January notification added 208 entities in four more sectors. A June 2026 draft would add 255 iron and steel entities.
Is it a cap-and-trade system?
No. Each plant gets an emissions intensity target in tCO2e per tonne of product, not an absolute cap. Beating the target earns credits; missing it means buying credits equal to (achieved − target) × output.
What is the penalty for missing a target?
Environmental compensation equal to twice the average price at which credits traded in that compliance year, imposed by the Central Pollution Control Board and payable within 90 days.
What is the price of an Indian carbon credit?
There is no traded price yet. CERC's 2026 rules require trading within a floor and forbearance price band to be approved on a BEE proposal; we found no published band.
Which sectors are covered?
Aluminium, cement, chlor-alkali, pulp & paper, petroleum refineries, petrochemicals, textiles and secondary aluminium. Iron and steel targets are in draft. Thermal power plants were not moved into the scheme.
Can projects outside these industries earn credits?
Yes, through the offset mechanism. Nine methodologies are approved, such as grid renewables, hydrogen, landfill methane and afforestation, and over 40 entities were submitting projects in March 2026.
How does India's scheme link to Article 6?
A national authority set up on 30 May 2022 approves activities for international transfer; 14 activities are eligible. India signed a Joint Crediting Mechanism agreement with Japan on 7 August 2025.
