India, as a growing economy and a significant emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs), is taking progressive steps to integrate carbon markets into its environmental policies.

These credits are either issued for reducing emissions (offset credits) or allocated under cap-and-trade mechanisms, where companies must stay within prescribed emission limits. Globally, carbon markets operate under two models:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><b>Compliance
