India carbon & disclosure readiness — built for compliance.

RSustain Carbon’s India Desk supports organisations preparing for the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), the Indian Carbon Market (ICM), and SEBI’s BRSR Core requirements through defensible baselines, MRV systems, and verification-ready documentation — structured to integrate with existing operations.

Positioning: RSustain Carbon provides consultancy and facilitation support only. We do not perform verification, validation, assurance, or brokerage activities.
