CCTS Compliance Advisory
Stay ahead of India’s compliance carbon market
The Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) is India’s national compliance carbon market, established under the Energy Conservation Act and administered by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). We help obligated entities understand their greenhouse gas emission intensity targets, build a defensible compliance pathway, and trade Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs) on the power exchanges.
Who it’s for
- Energy-intensive industries notified under the compliance mechanism
- Companies transitioning from the PAT scheme to CCTS
- Manufacturers planning capex around future emission-intensity targets
What we deliver
Tangible outputs, not slideware
Every engagement is scoped to produce decision-ready deliverables your team can act on.
- Applicability assessment and obligation mapping
- Baseline emission-intensity calculation and gap analysis
- Compliance pathway and marginal abatement cost (MACC) modelling
- CCC demand/supply position and trading strategy
- Monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) readiness
Our approach
How a ccts compliance engagement works
- Step 1
Assess
Confirm applicability, map obligations and quantify your current emission intensity against the notified target trajectory.
- Step 2
Plan
Model abatement options, surplus/deficit positions and the most cost-effective route to compliance.
- Step 3
Execute
Prepare MRV documentation, support verification and advise on CCC purchase or sale timing.
FAQ
CCTS Compliance — questions answered
The Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) is India’s compliance carbon market notified under the Energy Conservation Act. Obligated entities receive greenhouse gas emission-intensity targets; those who beat their target earn Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs) that can be sold, while those who fall short must buy CCCs to comply.
PAT (Perform, Achieve, Trade) targeted energy efficiency via ESCerts. CCTS broadens this to greenhouse-gas emission intensity and introduces tradable Carbon Credit Certificates, aligning India’s market with a true carbon-pricing framework.
