CarbonComply

India CCTS · BEE PAT

~490 entities already carry a binding target. Here's the compliance cycle.

Domestic obligation — it applies whether or not you export a single tonne. Beat your Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity target and you earn credits. Miss it and you're buying them, or paying a penalty built to make buying the cheaper option.

The target: Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensitysource

GEI measures tonnes of CO2-equivalent per unit of output, set at the sub-sector level against a fixed baseline year. ~490 entities across CCTS's notified sectors carry a binding target as of the January 2026 notification — automatically, once you cross BEE's energy-consumption threshold in a notified sector.

The penalty for missing itsource

Beat your target and the surplus is issued as Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs), sellable to entities that fell short. Miss it and you buy CCCs to cover the gap — or face an environmental compensation penalty set at twice the average traded CCC price for that compliance year, under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001.

The credit lifecycle

CarbonComply tracks a credit as one continuous record from the moment it's modelled to the moment it's retired — not a static balance that resets every year.

  1. 01

    Projected

    Modelled ahead of the compliance year from your production plan and historical GEI.

  2. 02

    Submitted

    Filed with the compliance-year data once the year closes.

  3. 03

    Issued

    BEE confirms the surplus against your target and issues Carbon Credit Certificates.

  4. 04

    Held / Traded / Retired

    Hold as a buffer, sell on the Indian Carbon Market, or retire against a shortfall — tracked as one continuous record.

What a compliance cycle looks like on the platform

  • One data set, two regulations

    The same production, fuel and electricity data that produces your CBAM figure also produces your CCTS GEI figure.

  • Target tracking through the year

    See your projected position against target before the compliance year closes, not after.

  • Filing output, not a dashboard screenshot

    Compliance output in the shape BEE expects, backed by the same hash-chained audit trail as your CBAM filing.

  • Credit ledger, not a spreadsheet

    Every CCC tracked from projected through retired, so you know your real position before you decide to buy or sell.

Questions we actually get asked

What is a GEI target, exactly?
Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity — tonnes of CO2-equivalent per unit of output for your sub-sector, set against a baseline year. Beat your assigned intensity and the surplus becomes Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs); miss it and you have a shortfall to cover.
What happens if we miss our target?
You buy CCCs on the Indian Carbon Market to cover the shortfall, or face an environmental compensation penalty set at twice the average traded CCC price for that compliance year — enforced under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, as amended in 2022.
Are we actually an obligated entity?
If you're in a notified CCTS sector and cross BEE's energy-consumption threshold, you're automatically designated — it doesn't depend on whether you export anything. Obligations have applied to 490 entities across the notified sectors since the January 2026 tranche.
Does this replace our EU CBAM filing?
No — they're separate obligations calculated from the same underlying plant data. CarbonComply runs both methodologies off one data set so you're not maintaining two spreadsheets. See the CBAM page.

Not sure if you're an obligated entity?

One call. We check your sector and your energy consumption against BEE's threshold and tell you exactly where you stand.
