Launched in Delhi on May 28, 2008, the India GHG Inventory Program is a national-level program for corporations to measure and manage their GHG emissions based on internationally recognized standards, and to monitor their progress towards voluntary reduction goals. Using the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, the program follows a similar model to the U.S. EPA Climate Leaders Program.

The program is a crucial step towards establishing a national model on emissions accounting, and creating business and institutional capacity to undertake comprehensive GHG inventories and programs that can serve multiple business objectives nationally as well as globally.
