India carbon credit market is in its infancy stage. Offsetting carbon emission is being carried out on voluntary basis. At present there is no major obligatory norms to monitor carbon emission. The Indian government has legislated the Energy Conservation (Amendment) Bill to promote the carbon credit market and introduce cap-and-trade system in a phased manner. Growing concerns about climate change among consumers have forced companies to be concerned about their carbon emission. Many have started adopting measures to lower their carbon footprint. India’s commitment at COP-26 to become carbon neutral will see greater thrust from government on monitoring carbon emission which will drive the market.

Additionally, the imposition of carbon tax by countries in Europe and North America on imported goods with carbon footprints have accelerated demand for carbon offsets by Indian companies whose revenues are largely dependent on export to EU and North America. Moreover, the major drivers of the market include government obligations and CO2 emission. Further, there has been rising awareness among consumers about climate change and they are being selective while using any product. This is also forcing companies to curb their carbon footprint.
