India ka Carbon Market Plan: Ab Duniya mein Lead karne ki taiyari!
Overview

Yaar, India ab sirf carbon market mein participate nahi kar raha, balki khud rules bana kar duniya mein lead karne ki taiyari kar raha hai. CCTS jaise naye frameworks se yeh sab ho raha hai.

Toh bhaiyo aur behno, suno! India ne ab carbon market mein apna game badha diya hai. Pehle sirf participate karte the, ab khud hi rules banayenge aur South Asia mein toh leader banenge hi, middle-income countries mein bhi. Iske liye CCTS (Carbon Credit Trading Scheme) aur CRI (Carbon Registry of India) jaise naye system laaye hain taaki sab kuch transparent aur organised ho. Global voluntary carbon market bhi badh raha hai, aur India iska fayda uthana chahta hai, especially 'avoidance' se 'removal' credits ki taraf shift mein.

Par sab kuch itna aasan nahi hai. Sabse badi dikkat hai credit prices ka kam hona. Apne neighbours ko dekho, Sri Lanka ka credit $3.77 aur Pakistan ka toh $28.11 hai, jabki India mein yeh average $2.35 ke aas paas hai. Iske alawa, globally credit ki quality aur integrity ko lekar bhi sawal uthte rehte hain. Isiliye India government naye methods la rahi hai taaki offset quality badhe, par Verra aur Gold Standard jaise international standards abhi bhi bahut important hain.

Investors bhi thode confuse hain. CCTS hai toh sahi, par abhi bhi kuch regulatory issues hain. Jaise, petrochemicals aur steel jaise sectors ke liye emission targets decide karne mein der ho rahi hai, jis se CCTS ka impact kam ho sakta hai aur credits oversupply ho sakte hain. Aur haan, thermal power sector ko early phases se bahar rakha gaya hai, jo ek bada emitter hai. Dusri taraf, dusre countries mein companies pollution karte hue credits bana rahi hain, aur local communities ke saath bhi issues aa rahe hain. India mein pehle bhi RECs aur ESCerts jaise schemes prices collapse ho chuki hain oversupply aur low demand ki wajah se. CCTS ko yeh galti nahi dohrani hai.

Future ki baat karein toh, yeh market $1.7 billion (2026) se badh kar $32 billion (2035) tak pahunchne wala hai. CCTS ko Paris Agreement ke Article 6.2 ke saath integrate karne se cross-border trading ho payegi aur investment bhi aayegi. Government ka Green Credit Programme (GCP) bhi dikhata hai ki woh low-carbon future ke liye committed hain. Par bhai, sirf market mechanisms se kaam nahi chalega. India ko apni climate finance needs poori karne ke liye, global scale ke saath domestic ambition match karni hogi. Iske liye acchi governance, sabhi sectors ko include karna, aur credible pricing zaroori hai.
