About CarbonPlusX

We exist to connect the dots between verified Indian carbon projects and climate conscious capital in a way that feels simple, transparent and fair for everyone involved.

The Problem

Today, Indian projects and landowners sit on huge climate potential but:

  • Don't know where to start with carbon credits
  • Are overwhelmed by verification and paperwork
  • Don't have a direct path to international buyers

On the other side, buyers want India exposure but are tired of vague claims and scattered information.

What is a carbon credit?

When your project cuts or removes pollution, it's not just "good karma", it can be quantified.

  • Pollution is counted in tonnes of CO₂ (like kilos, but for emissions).
  • If your project keeps 1 tonne of CO₂ out of the air, that's 1 unit of climate benefit.
  • 1 carbon credit = 1 tonne of CO₂ avoided or removed.

Auditors and experts come in to:

  • •Measure how many tonnes your project really cuts or removes,
  • •Check that it's genuine and not double-counted,
  • •Turn those tonnes into carbon credits in a registry.

Those credits can then be sold to companies and investors who still have emissions but want to support real climate action.

"The people who can't avoid emitting yet help pay the people who are actually reducing emissions on the ground"

Your job is to keep running an honest, solid project.

Our job at CarbonPlusX is to make sure that impact is seen, measured in tonnes, converted into carbon credits and sold
So every carbon credit Xchanged leaves you truly Carbon Plus.

Project owners / developers

You might be:

  • A landowner with tree cover or potential for agroforestry
  • A solar / wind / biomass / biogas developer
  • An industrial or agri unit with waste-to-energy or efficiency projects
  • An NGO or community initiative with real, measurable climate impact

We help you explore if there's a carbon revenue stream here, and what it would take to unlock it.

Buyers / investors / ESG leads

You want Indian exposure, real impact, and no drama. We help you:

  • Understand what's behind each project
  • Avoid low-quality or unclear credits
  • Align purchases with your internal policies and storytelling

Why India, Why Now?

India is already one of the world's biggest sources of carbon credits: over 375 million credits have been issued from Indian projects, with more than 200 million already bought and retired by global corporates.

At the same time, the India carbon credit market is exploding: from about USD 4.0 billion in 2023 to a projected USD 49+ billion by 2030 under emerging rules.

The government has also notified the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) and is building a national carbon market, with trading expected in the next few years.

But on the ground, most Indian project owners still don't know where to start, and most foreign buyers struggle to find clean, decision ready Indian deals in one place. The result: real climate work in India is underpaid, and serious buyers are stuck digging through scattered PDFs and low trust credits.

That gap between quietly doing the work here and capital actively looking for Indian tonnes is exactly where CarbonPlusX sits. We're building the rails so high integrity Indian projects can get paid fairly, and buyers can finally buy Indian carbon credits without second guessing every tonne.
