Centre Revises Greenhouse Emission Targets for Refineries and Textile Units
· Business · Indian Express
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has amended a notification setting legally binding greenhouse-gas emission-intensity reduction targets for petroleum refineries and the textile sector. The revision modifies baseline emission figures for at least seven Indian Oil refineries across Digboi, Gujarat, Guwahati, Haldia, Mathura, Panipat, and Paradeep. The updated notification removes the 2025-26 compliance targets while retaining the targets for 2026-27. In total, the amendment covers 21 petroleum refineries operated by major companies including Reliance Industries, Indian Oil Corporation, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation. For the textile sector, the order covers 173 units across three sub-sectors under the Carbon Credits Trading Scheme.
Why it matters
Obligated petroleum refineries and textile units must adjust their emissions baselines and reduction strategies to comply with India's domestic carbon market rules under the Carbon Credits Trading Scheme.
