Potential annual carbon-credit value at a conservative 50% capacity

At ~4.93 million tonnes of CO₂ captured per year (a deliberately conservative 50% capacity scenario), and carbon prices of ₹850–₹1,275 per tonne (~$10–$15) under India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, verified removals from Indian Railways represent an estimated ₹420–₹630 crore (~$49–74 million) in annual carbon-credit value. At full deployment (~9.86 Mt/yr) this scales toward ₹840–₹1,257 crore per year — a new sustainability revenue stream that helps fund the network's Net-Zero 2030 transition. Equivalent to the annual CO₂ absorption of roughly 224 million mature trees.
