MoEFCC Extends GEI Targets to 4 Additional Sectors, Bringing 208 New Obligated Entities Under CCTSIn January 2026, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), expanded the scope of the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) by notifying Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity (GEI) targets for 4 additional carbon-intensive industrial sectors, bringing them under the compliance framework of the Indian Carbon Market (ICM).What? Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity (GEI) targets notifiedWho? MoEFCCScheme: Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS)New Sectors Covered: Petroleum refineries, Petrochemicals, Textiles, Secondary AluminiumNew Obligated Entities: 208 (Total: 490)Alignment: Net-Zero by 2070Additional Carbon-Intensive sectors: Newly Included sectors: The GEI targets apply to four additional high-emission sectors, including Petroleum refineries, petrochemicals, textiles, and secondary aluminium, covering 208 entities.These sectors now fall under the Compliance Mechanism of the Indian Carbon Market (ICM).Secondary aluminium refers to aluminium produced from recycled scrap rather than primary ore.Expanded Coverage: With the latest inclusion, the compliance framework has expanded from 282 to 490 obligated entities across India’s most emission-intensive industries.Obligated Entities: These industries are emission-intensive entities mandated to comply with the GEI targets under the Compliance Mechanism of the CCTS.About GEI Targets: Overview: GEI targets specify the amount of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions per unit of output that an industry is allowed to emit. It creates a market-based incentive for industries to reduce emissions efficiently.Emission Reduction: Each entity must reduce its emission intensity to meet the prescribed level. The entities performing better than their targets earn Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs).The entities failing to meet targets must buy these certificates from the market.Earlier Notification: The first set of GEI targets was issued in October 2025 for the Aluminium(Al), Cement, Chlor-Alkali, and Pulp & Paper sectors, covering 282 entities.About Carbon Credit Trading Scheme(CCTS):Overview: It was notified in 2023, with an aim to reduce or avoid GHG emissions across the Indian economy by putting a price on carbon through a trading system.Mechanisms: The CCTS operates through two mechanisms.Compliance Mechanism, which is mandatory for emission-intensive sectors.Offset Mechanism, which allows voluntary emission reduction projects to generate tradable carbon credits.Alignment: The scheme aligns with the GoI’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2070.About Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC):Union Minister – Bhupender Yadav (Constituency – Alwar, Rajasthan)Minister of State (MoS) – Kirti Vardhan Singh (Constituency – Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, UP)
