India’s carbon credit ecosystem is still in its formative years but the government’s increasing focus on sustainability is pushing organizations towards structured environmental adoption. SEBI’s Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) has made it imperative for businesses to disclose their sustainability initiatives. However, many organizations lack the expertise and resources to effectively engage with carbon credit mechanisms. The absence of standardized methodologies and transparency in the voluntary carbon market further complicates the process.
As organizations seek to lower their water and energy intensity scores, the demand for integrated green solutions is accelerating. With India positioned as a net developer rather than a consumer of credits, its vast and diverse landscape presents significant opportunities. Capitalizing on this momentum, Green Exchange India is focusing on green utilities including green energy integration and Water from Air.
Beyond Nature-Based Solutions
Green Exchange India offers end-to-end market based sustainability solutions that integrate carbon credit development with renewable energy integration, water harvesting and conservation projects.
The company helps clients identify, engineer, procure, construct, co-finance and develop green energy, water harvesting and carbon projects, ensuring adherence to national and internationally recognized certification standards.
“We provide comprehensive net-zero energy solutions that encompass captive and group captive green energy projects, including solar and wind parks, as well as battery energy storage systems across India”, explains Aamil Hemani, Founder, Green Exchange India. In the water sector, the company has recently launched Air Drops - Water from Air, packaged drinking water harvested from the air in reusable glass bottles, effectively eliminating single-use glass and plastics. This initiative focuses on sustainability by ensuring the collection and reuse of bottles at its local facilities in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Its green energy and water technologies generate tradable green energy credits and water credits, contributing to a more sustainable future.
A significant obstacle in carbon credit adoption is the perceived volatility of credit pricing and the uncertainty surrounding long-term returns. Green Exchange India mitigates these concerns by structuring projects that align with corporate sustainability objectives rather than short-term market fluctuations. By fostering partnerships with stakeholders across industries, it ensures that its clients benefit from stable and credible credit generation pathways. Furthermore, the company actively engages with policymakers to contribute to the standardization of carbon credit frameworks in India, ensuring a more structured and transparent market for participants.
A Comprehensive Solution to Navigate Sustainability
Green Exchange India provides end-to-end solutions aimed at reducing an organization’s water and energy intensity score. By analyzing this metric, the company works closely with clients to systematically lower their resource consumption, ensuring a more efficient and cost-effective approach to sustainability. It is in alignment with the latest government regulations, including the BRSR framework, a compliance that is currently mandatory for the top 500 to 1,000 companies and is expected to expand further each year, with the company helping clients proactively adapt to these reporting requirements.
The company aims to commission approximately 500 megawatts of renewable energy within the next three years, with an additional 1 Gigawatt planned over the following two years. In the area of water conservation and generation, it intends to save around one million litres of water over the next two years by leveraging and expanding its distribution network for atmospheric water 'Air Drops'. In addition, the company plans to trade an estimated one million carbon credits, including IREC and offsets, alongside water credits within the same timeframe. Its expertise in aligning business objectives with environmental responsibility ensures that clients can confidently integrate carbon credit mechanisms into their sustainability roadmaps while achieving measurable financial and ecological benefits.
