class=\"feed_item_content\">\n<h3><strong>Context:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The Indian government has set greenhouse gas emissions intensity targets for nine heavy industrial sectors under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS).\n<ul>\n<li>The eight sectors are aluminium, cement, paper and pulp, chlor-alkali, iron and steel, textile, Fertiliser, petrochemicals and petro refineries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>To assess how ambitious these targets are, the analysis suggests that they should not be evaluated at the level of individual entities or sectors.<\/li>\n<li>Instead, ambition should be measured at the aggregate, economy-wide level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Background: India\u2019s Emerging Role in Global Carbon Pricing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>India is positioning itself as a key player in global carbon pricing alongside Brazil and T\u00fcrkiye.<\/li>\n<li>With the launch of the\u00a0<strong>Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) in July 2024<\/strong>, India is moving towards a\u00a0<strong>rate-based Emissions Trading System (ETS)<\/strong>\u00a0covering\u00a0<strong>nine energy-intensive industrial sectors<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The scheme targets\u00a0<strong>emissions intensity reduction<\/strong>\u00a0rather than absolute emissions caps.<\/li>\n<li>Facilities that perform better than benchmark emissions intensity levels earn\u00a0<strong>Credit Certificates<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>CCTS has two components:\n<ul>\n<li>A\u00a0<strong>compliance mechanism<\/strong>\u00a0for obligated industrial entities.<\/li>\n<li>An\u00a0<strong>offset mechanism<\/strong>\u00a0for voluntary participants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>This initiative lays the groundwork for India\u2019s national carbon market by providing an institutional framework aimed at decarbonizing the economy through market-based incentives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Aggregate Economy-Level Assessment Matters for Evaluating Emission Targets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>India\u2019s experience with the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme shows that while energy intensity may vary across individual entities or sectors, overall economy-wide energy efficiency can still improve.<\/li>\n<li>This highlights that the true measure of ambition in schemes like the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) lies at the aggregate, economy-wide level\u2014not at the entity or sector level.<\/li>\n<li>Entity- or sector-level targets\u00a0<u>mainly determine financial transfers through market mechanisms but do not reflect overall emission intensity reduction<\/u>.<\/li>\n<li>Historical sector-level performance under PAT is not a reliable benchmark for future ambition, as climate action needs to progressively align with India\u2019s\u00a0<strong>Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)<\/strong>\u00a0and its 2070 net-zero goal.<\/li>\n<li>Therefore, assessing CCTS targets requires comparing them against future economy-wide pathways rather than past industry-level outcomes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Assessing the Ambition of India\u2019s Industrial Emissions Targets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Result of a recent modelling<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Recent modelling shows that for India to meet its 2030 NDC, the carbon dioxide emissions intensity of the energy sector (emissions per unit of GDP) needs to\u00a0<u>decline at an average rate of 3.44% per year between 2025 and 2030<\/u>.<\/li>\n<li>For the manufacturing sector, emissions intensity of value added (EIVA) is projected to decline by at least 2.53% annually over the same period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analysing India\u2019s new Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) targets<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>When analysing India\u2019s new Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) targets, the average annual EIVA reduction across the eight covered industrial sectors is estimated at\u00a0<strong>only 1.68% per year between 2023\u201324 and 2026\u201327<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>This is notably slower than both the economy-wide target and the manufacturing sector projection, suggesting that\u00a0<strong>industrial targets under CCTS may not be ambitious enough<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Although the CCTS covers only a subset of India\u2019s manufacturing base, this estimate offers the closest available benchmark until more comprehensive sectoral modelling is done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ultimately, the key measure of ambition lies in the overall aggregate emissions intensity decline, not just in isolated sectoral or entity-level targets.<\/li>\n<li>This aggregate perspective is critical to judging whether India\u2019s industrial decarbonisation is keeping pace with its broader climate commitments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"long_text_container showing\">\n<h2 class=\"feed_item_title\"><strong>Bridging the Skills Gap &#8211; India\u2019s Employment
