UK recognizes India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) for mutual carbon market linkage
GK and monthly revision
UK recognises India’s carbon credit trading scheme, relief for Indian exporters
The United Kingdom has officially recognized India's carbon credit trading scheme, enabling Indian exporters to avoid double taxation on carbon-intensive goods. British importers can now claim carbon price relief under the UK's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). This bilateral recognition strengthens India's position in ongoing negotiations with the European Union for similar mutual recognition under the EU CBAM. Continued cooperation on carbon market design will be pursued through existing India-UK climate and trade partnerships.
