Solutions / CCTS compliance entities
Choose CCTS-eligible Indian credits with confidence.
India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) will impose quality requirements on eligible credits. V4 ratings provide an early indication of which credits are likely to meet those standards.
The question we answer
"How do we choose CCTS-eligible credits with confidence?"
CCTS eligibility criteria are still being finalised, but the direction of travel is clear: credits with strong additionality, permanence, and monitoring documentation will be preferred. V4 ratings provide a proxy for CCTS eligibility based on the same analytical dimensions the scheme is expected to use.
What V4 ratings give you
CCTS alignment scoring
V4 ratings are structured around the same six pillars that India's CCTS framework is expected to evaluate, giving compliance entities an early read on eligible vs non-eligible credits.
Reduced regulatory risk
Credits rated BBB or above by V4 carry materially lower risk of being excluded from CCTS eligibility lists or failing registry audits.
Compliance portfolio optimisation
V4 can analyse your compliance inventory and identify which credits are best suited for regulatory surrender versus voluntary retirement.
Forward-looking coverage
As CCTS eligibility criteria are published, V4 will update its rating criteria to align with regulatory requirements.
How it works in practice
- 1
Identify your compliance inventory
Provide V4 with the list of Indian credits you hold or are considering for CCTS compliance purposes.
- 2
V4 assesses CCTS alignment
Each credit is assessed against V4 criteria and mapped to expected CCTS eligibility dimensions.
- 3
Receive eligibility risk report
A report identifies high-confidence, medium-confidence, and at-risk credits in your inventory.
- 4
Adjust procurement strategy
Use V4 ratings in future credit procurement to build a higher-quality compliance inventory.
Recommended starting point
Begin with a methodology briefing for your compliance team, followed by a pilot on your next compliance procurement window. V4 will walk your team through the rating criteria and assess the credits you are considering before purchase.
