ग्रीनहाउस गैस उत्सर्जन तीव्रता लक्ष्य नियम, 2025

Summary

India's Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change issued a draft notification on April 16, 2025, titled "Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity Target Rules, 2025." This draft proposes specific GEI targets for 282 obligated entities across four sectors: Aluminium (13), Cement (186), Chlor-Alkali (30), and Pulp & Paper (53). These targets are set for the compliance years 2025-26 and 2026-27, building upon the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, 2023, notified on June 28, 2023. For instance, a typical aluminium smelter's baseline GEI of 13.4927 tCO2e/tonne (2023-24) is targeted to reduce to 12.8259 by 2026-27, while a cement plant with a baseline of 0.4455 tCO2e/tonne is targeted for 0.4391. Non-compliant entities will face an environmental compensation equivalent to twice the average carbon credit price of the trading cycle, payable within 90 days. Public feedback on this draft is invited for 60 days from its publication.
