The Indian Carbon Market (ICM): A New "Green Stock Exchange"
2/10/20261 min read
The most significant policy shift this year is the official launch of the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) compliance market, expected by October 2026.
What this means for businesses: Underachieving industries must now buy Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs) from those who exceed their green targets. This puts a real, tradable price on carbon, incentivizing every factory in India to go green or pay the price.
