<h1>Greenhouse Gases Emission Intensity Target Rules, 2025 impose legally binding intensity cuts on 282 industrial units with carbon-credit trading</h1> The government has notified the Greenhouse Gases Emission Intensity Target Rules, 2025, imposing the country's first legally binding emission-intensity reduction obligations on 282 industrial units in aluminium, cement, pulp and paper, and chlor-alkali sectors, with compliance for 2025-26 through 2026-27 against a 2023-24 baseline. Units below targets may earn tradable carbon-credit certificates; units above must procure credits or pay an 'environmental compensation' equal to twice the average carbon-credit trading price for the year. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency will determine average prices and the Central Pollution Control Board will enforce penalties and recovery. Targets are plant- and company-specific and aim to integrate domestic carbon trading with national NDC and export-market requirements.
