- The Union Government notified the second round of mandatory emission-intensity reduction targets under the Greenhouse Gases Emission Intensity (GEI) Target (Amendment) Rules, 2025.
- These rules are issued under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, to reduce industrial greenhouse gas emissions.
- They came into force on 9 October 2025 and support India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS).
- Petroleum refineries, petrochemicals, textiles and secondary aluminium sectors are covered in the second round.
- Targets are based on emission intensity measured as tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) per unit of output.
- Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) issues carbon credits, while the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) enforces compliance.
- The rules aim to cut emission intensity by about 3–7% by 2026–27 compared to the 2023–24 baseline.
