The reductions are expected to be in accordance with the Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Emission Intensity Target Rules, 2025.
The four sectors' inclusion comes months after the ministry brought traditionally high-emission sectors such as aluminium, cement, chlor alkali and pulp and paper in the ambit of the reduction regime.
"As per the new norms, it has been made mandatory for as many as 208 industrial units spread across the country to reduce GHG emissions per unit of product (emission intensity), beginning 2025-26. The four more sectors added to the regime will help meet specific reduction targets by 2026-27 compared to a 2023-24 baseline," a senior official said.
