WHAT IS CCTS? 

What is India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS)?

India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme is the country’s first national compliance carbon market, notified in June 2023 under the Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2022, governed by Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)

Companies that perform better than their targets earn Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs), which they can sell on designated exchanges. Each certificate represents one tonne of CO₂ equivalent reduced or removed.

Is your sector covered?

Body: Currently, 461 obligated entities across nine energy-intensive industries are mandated to comply. More sectors will be added in future phases.

Sector: Aluminium · Cement · Iron & Steel · Fertilizers · Petroleum Refining · Petrochemicals · 
Textiles · Pulp & Paper · Chlor-Alkali

Note below: Not on the list yet? Non-obligated entities can still register eligible GHG reduction projects through the CCTS voluntary offset mechanism and earn CCCs as carbon credit suppliers.

FAQs

A CCC is a tradeable instrument issued through the Indian Carbon Market registry, representing one tonne of CO₂ equivalent that an obligated entity has reduced below its assigned emission intensity target. Entities that outperform earn CCCs to sell; those that underperform must surrender CCCs to achieve compliance.

Currently, 461 obligated entities across nine sectors: aluminium, cement, iron & steel, fertilizers, petroleum refining, petrochemicals, textiles, pulp & paper, and chlor-alkali, are mandated to comply. The BEE has indicated that more sectors will be added in future phases.

Both are intensity-based compliance mechanisms administered by BEE, but they are distinct instruments. PAT focuses on energy efficiency and issues Energy Saving Certificates (ESCerts). CCTS focuses specifically on GHG emission intensity and issues CCCs. As CCTS matures, it is expected to gradually supersede PAT for covered sectors.

CCC prices are market-driven and will be determined once active trading begins on designated exchanges. Current estimates place pricing at approximately ₹600–900 per tonne of CO₂ equivalent at launch, with prices expected to rise as annual targets tighten and more sectors are added.

Yes. All GHG emission reports must be independently verified by a BEE-accredited Carbon Verifier and Auditor (ACVA) before CCCs can be issued or surrendered. Verification is annual, with reports due to BEE by July 31 each year.

Yes,  through the voluntary offset mechanism. Non-obligated entities can register eligible GHG reduction or removal projects against eight approved methodologies (including renewable energy, green hydrogen, industrial energy efficiency, landfill methane recovery, mangrove afforestation, and compressed biogas) and receive CCCs for sale on the market.
