Defend your Indian credit procurement to internal audit and the board.

V4 provides an independent, methodology-grounded rating for every Indian carbon credit you are considering, so your procurement decision rests on something more defensible than a registry listing.

The question we answer

"How do we defend our Indian credit procurement to internal audit and the board?"

A registry listing tells you that a project has been approved and credits have been issued. It does not tell you whether the underlying abatement was real, additional, and permanent. V4 ratings are the gap between registry approval and procurement confidence.

What V4 ratings give you

01

Vintage-specific ratings

V4-CCR rates the specific vintage you are procuring, not just the project. A 2021 issuance and a 2023 issuance from the same project can have different ratings.

02

Audit-ready documentation

Each V4 rating comes with a PDF report that documents the methodology used, the pillar scores, and the reasoning behind the final grade. Your audit team gets a paper trail.

03

India-specific due diligence

V4 analysts visit projects, conduct community interviews in Hindi and regional languages, and integrate India-specific data (ISRO Bhuvan, FSI, CEA, IMD) into every assessment.

04

Portfolio view

If you hold or are considering a portfolio of Indian credits, V4 provides a portfolio-level summary with exposure by project type, registry, and rating band.
