The Carbon Credits guidebook is the first of its kind in India, focused on unlocking carbon financing for e-bus operations. With over 9,500 e-buses already on the road and 12,000+ under procurement, the guidebook provides a comprehensive framework for State Transport Undertakings, Special Purpose Vehicles, and Urban Local Bodies to convert their emission reductions into revenue, supporting the long-term sustainability of their e-bus fleets. 

What more can you find inside? 

🚍 How to strategically use carbon credits to mitigate high capital costs. 

🚍 Mechanisms for accessing both mandatory and voluntary carbon markets.  

🚍 A detailed registration process for e-bus projects in international carbon markets, which helps in reducing dependence on traditional funding models.

This is a major step forward for India’s growing e-bus sector and helps solidify these projects as key contributors to global emission reduction efforts. This effort will also help India’s e-bus projects gain international recognition as major contributors to climate change mitigation. The report is co-published by Association of State Road Transport Undertakings (ASRTU) and ITDP India.
