CCTS Compliance for Indian Aluminium Smelters: Gazette Targets, Abatement Levers, and the Triple Value of Renewable Electricity | Reclimatize.in

India’s thirteen primary aluminium smelters are operating under legally binding GEI targets for FY2025-26 and FY2026-27, gazette-notified by MoEFCC on 8 October 2025. Vedanta Jharsuguda must reduce from 13.4927 to 12.8259 tCO₂/t by FY2026-27; BALCO must move from 15.7129 to 14.8087. Renewable electricity is the lever with the highest GEI impact and the highest simultaneous value it resolves CCTS compliance, CBAM Scope 2 liability, and the RCO mandate in a single investment.
