India to set emission reduction mandates for 4 sectors, to start carbon trading from 2025
India plans to set carbon emission reduction targets for four sectors heavily reliant on fossil fuels. The targets will be aligned with the country's greenhouse emissions reduction goals and will apply to companies in the petrochemicals, iron and steel, cement, and pulp and paper sectors. These companies are also expected to be the first to trade carbon credits on India's carbon trading market from April 2025.
