India has operationalized its Carbon Market under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) – marking a shift from ESG reporting to financial impact.
This changes how companies approach sustainability:
• Emissions now carry a direct cost
• Decarbonization becomes a financial decision
• Carbon credits emerge as a tradable asset class
However, the bigger question is – are companies ready?
Many still face:
• Weak emissions tracking systems
• Low ESG data maturity
• Limited internal capabilities
As carbon pricing becomes real, ESG is no longer just about disclosure – it’s about strategy, cost, and competitiveness.
Carbon is moving onto the balance sheet.
