Agency Scope & Roadmap
About Bharat Carbon Market
An independent capacity-building agency focused on education and market preparation.
1. Education & Knowledge (Current Focus)
Registered under Trademark Class 41 for Educational Services. We offer
comprehensive guides and technical curricula explaining the CCTS regulatory framework, GHG accounting, and
ISO standards.
2. Educational Insights
Assisting designated industrial consumers and project developers in mapping emission baselines, identifying

Clarifying BCM's role as a private educational agency and key CCTS regulations.
No. Bharat Carbon Market (BCM) is an independent private educational agency (Trademark
Class 41: Educational Services). The governing bodies for the Indian Carbon Market are the Ministry of
Power, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE).
Not at this stage. BCM currently operates as an educational and market-readiness hub. We will enter
institutional brokerage and carbon credit transaction services after obtaining all required statutory
regulatory licenses and approvals following market notification.
We provide educational guides for obligated industrial entities (Designated Consumers), technical
capacity building for offset project developers, and audit readiness education for ISO 14065 / 14064
standards.
ESCerts under the PAT scheme measure energy savings in Metric Tonnes of Oil Equivalent (MTOE). CCTS
Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs) specifically measure verified greenhouse gas emissions reductions in
Metric Tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).
