India may soon start its first carbon-trading programme
Business Standard
|February 25, 2026
India is in the final stage of kickstarting its first ever comprehensive carbon-trading programme to report on emission generated by participating industries, according to a top official of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).
This will be for April 2025-March 2026 with interviews for verifiers in progress. But steel, the most polluting industry, is yet to find a place in the first phase of operations; neither is the fertiliser sector. Their inclusion was proposed to cover 800 units, responsible for nearly all of India’s industrial emission.
Denying reports that the “Carbon Credit Trading Scheme” is delayed, Saurabh Diddi, director, BEE, told Business Standard on the sidelines of “Mumbai Climate Week’ that the body had issued emission targets for around 490 units, covering seven sectors, through two notifications, in October 2025 and January 2026.
(The power sector, India’s biggest overall polluter, is not part of the scheme.)

A simplistic bull case
Abeguiling theory is doing the rounds in India’s financial circles — that the country’s stock market has become unusually attractive for foreign investors; if only the billion-dollar global funds with the best of talent wised up, they can grow their investment eight times in dollar terms over the next two decades.
